A book you may find interesting that addresses this relating to education is *Better Late than Early* by Drs. Moore and Moore (a husband wife team)
It was written decades ago and is still relevant. It addresses the idea of how neural development and nerve mylenation is related to learning and why it’s pretty much useless to start a child’s education before the age of 8 - 10.
it’s pretty much useless to start a child’s education before the age of 8 - 10.
Useless? Keep in sync, and that means starting at age 4 for many things. Anything less is dumbing down.
...and yet the ideas of educators would have you believe that the earlier the better. Hence the attempt to move Pre-K.
Sounds more like propaganda and desire for control than what might be called learning.
