[quote=Anonymous]Kids shouldn't start 'real school' until they are 7 (not 4-6 as is currently the case) since it has been proven in many studies that children do better in school over all when they delay starting a very structured/long school day until age 7 and right now kindergarten is like what 1st grade used to be and is very intense for a lot of kids when they start it at 4-5, many kids are just not quite ready for 'real school' at those ages. Kindergarten and preschool should be primarily for play-based learning.

Going along with this, parents (mothers [i]and[/i] fathers) should be given generous parental leave that can be used throughout the first 4 years of their child's life so that they are able to take time plenty of time off of work when the children are very young to provide a nurturing environment for the kids at home (they would not be getting 4 years off, but would have a very flexible/generous schedule with work so that they could work flex schedules during these years and the kids would never have to spend 10-12 hours a day in daycare.) And once the kids do start preschool (around age 4) their preschool/daycare should be subsidized by the state.[/quote]
