Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age. Others think they should begin after 7 years of age. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Many feel that children ought to commence formal schooling from a very 1young age, whileyoung age while others feel classes should start after the age of 7. In my opinion, though there are social benefits to early schooling, many of these can be replicated outside the classroom and there are emotional advantages to attending school later.

There are legitimate reasons for young children to enter school 2because of the socialization it offersrelated to socializing. This 3is best illustratedcan be best illustrated by the case of home-schooled children who often have underdeveloped social skills that can persist into adulthood. In contrast, children who are active members of a social group from a young age are far more likely to develop outgoing, positive ways of engaging with others. 4As they progress through normal childhood developmental stages and become less egocentric, the presence of other children, and teachers to some extent, has enormous benefits. However, parents can reproduce these advantages by ensuring their children have time to socialize with neighborhood friends.

Furthermore, entering school after the age of 7 can serve as a long-term boon for emotional health. When students begin formal schooling, they necessarily feel stressed 5not only because of competition with other children but also because ofnot only from competition with other children but also due to the burden of homework and grades. If children 6remain at home longerremain home longer, they will form stronger familial bonds that will encourage healthy relationships later in life. Research has shown that the early years are 7important in shapingessential in dictating how a child will develop interpersonally.

In conclusion, despite the social benefits of schooling for young children, the emotional 12benefitsramifications of remaining home in a supportive environment are more important. School administrators should consider this question carefully.
