Stanford researchers show we’re sending many children to school way too early

This article discusses a study conducted by Stanford University researchers that raises concerns about the starting age of formal schooling for children. The study suggests that many children are being enrolled in school too early, potentially causing them to struggle academically and socially. The researchers found that children who started school later performed better both academically and mentally, as they had more time for play and development. The article highlights the importance of considering individual development and readiness when determining the appropriate age for children to start school. It also advocates for more flexible approaches to education that take into account each child's unique needs.
