Q : While in some countries children start school at the age of four, in other countries

they start at the age of seven. Somepeople believe that starting school earlier
affects the relationship between parents and their children. Discuss the
advantages and disadvantages of starting school early and give your opinion.

A :

Preschool for children continues to be controversial in several countries, a few

countries argue that children should begin to study at the age of four. In contrast, others
think they should start at seven years old and there are several benefits and drawbacks
which I will discuss now.

The two main advantages of starting school at an early age. Firstly, kindergarten
provide early developmental stimulation at the infant level. Infants who use sign language
tend to speak earlier, have a greater interest in books, have higher IQ are less frustrated and
develop larger vocabularies than non-signers. Learning songs, finger plays, and stories are a
great way to enhance their early literacy skills. Secondly, kids will learn how to interact
socially at a younger age. In school, they meet new friends, new teachers and gathering with
them by do some activities such as sing a song, play a game together will teach child how to
making friends and get more sociable.

In spite of some advantages above, there are disadvantages of starting school at an

early age. Children are easy to be affected to the psychology. Very young children brains are
programmed to learn differently, to connect up and through play, as well as exploration. By
getting them into school early will damage their brains, they will feel depressed, many
children are not ready for the noise and rigors of organized school. For example : Some
children who always get cruel teachers can have different psychological expressions as
anxious and fear. This will make children easier to get angry, bored, and neglectful in
studying.

To conclude, although preschool can have certain negative effects like psychological
impact and brain damages. It has on extremely positive influence on progression of children
and teach them the way to interact with other people.
