In some countries it is thought advisable that children begin formal education at four years old, while in others they do not have to start school until they are seven or eight. How far do you agree with either of these views?

Some people think that children aged four should be sent to

school

while others believe that the most suitable

age

is seven or eight. I completely disagree with the former view,

however

, I agree with the latter and I believe that seven or eight is the best

age

for children to go to

school

. Four years old children are too young and sending them to

school

would be a challenge.

Firstly

, they do not have the required skills to be in

school

, since a lot of children at

this

age lack

Accept comma addition

age, lack

focus and find it difficult to communicate with others effectively.

For instance

, they might find it quite daunting to comprehend complicated subjects

such

as mathematics or science.

Secondly

, young children need time to play and discover the world

instead

of being locked up in schools to study. They might not tolerate academic pressure since they cannot handle stress at

this

point in their lives.

On the other hand

, older children are capable of going to

school

and even excel at studying. At

this

age

, their brains are ready to understand

school

subjects and communicate their ideas efficiently with their teachers and peers.

Furthermore

, since they have spent their early childhood years without stress and worries, they are eager to start their formal education and are more likely to do well academically than their counterparts who started their education at four. To conclude, children aged four are still too young to go to

school

and it would be unfair to ruin their childhood by forcing them to study hard while they should be enjoying their lives.

However

, seven or eight years old children have developed the required skills to excel academically and are ready to start their education.
