[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One thing I find fascinating about this discussion is the contrast to another DCUM topic I've encountered from time to time which hold's Finland's educational system up as a model BECAUSE they delay academic instruction for all children.  [/quote]

I don't think they delay academic instruction, I think their age for starting school is 7. It is the same in the country I am from. I started first grade at 6 and turned 7 in December. It is regular practice in many countries. I see no value in teaching 2, 3 year old to read, math, etc.. Nothing but crazy parents imo. Not only did I not miss anything, I learned to read in less than 3 months, and was an excellent student throughout my education without knowing a letter before starting school. We read Kant, Descartes in high school, had logic and philosophy, mandatory Latin and two other languages for over 10 years, and read books that kids would consider insane here(over 2000 pages classics)... just FYI[/quote]
