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 yo agree with either of these views?

When it comes to educating youngsters, in some parts of the world people believe that children should start their education at the

age

of 4, but in other countries, the proper

time

for starting educational studies is at 7 or 8 years old. I completely agree with the

second

view. Starting education at the

age

of 4 is not a suitable circumstance.

Firstly

, it is because a child at

this

age

is too small to be completely disciplined by the educational system, which is necessary.

Secondly

, infants still need to develop their basic skills,

such

as proper speaking abilities.

For example

, my nephew, who is 4.5 years old, is a late bloomer and going into formal educational set-up

this

early can cause him stress.

Finally

,

this

is still the

time

of playing and having fun for small kids and forcing them to go to school can have a destructible effect on them.

On the other hand

, I believe the acceptable

age

for going to school is when youths are 7 or 8. By that

time

, they are fully grown and ready for the

next

level of schooling.

In other words

, the knowledge of a professional teacher is crucial to their needs by the

time

they are 8.

Moreover

, more mature children are ready and need to leave home to be with people other than their family.

In addition

, when they grow to the primary school years they are ready to develop more advanced social skills. In conclusion,

although

small kids need to learn and be educated, I argue that the official learning progress is better to get postpone until children are more mature.
