[quote=Anonymous]Haven't seen the show, but here's something interesting- We discovered, when living in Switzerland, that children don't start elementary school until age 6.5/7 (you must be 6 years old by May 1st in order to start in the fall). For ages 3/4 - 6/7, there is "Kindergarten". Kindergarten is smaller & more local (not physically located in the elementary school), and is ALL PLAY and socialization. It's also not typically full-day. No letters or numbers - nada. By around 4th grade or so, kids have caught up academically to their American counterparts (and start to surpass them).[/quote]
