what are you're veiws on child education. I think that people are out of control. potty trainning at 2mo, putting them in school at 6wks. How about we let our children be kids for awhile. They will have to go to school for at least 19 yrs or more anyway. Lets not burn them out in them 1st 10. Ther is much more to learn, not just academics. Is it for the children or is it, or for the parents? Why not have someone else to do the hard work!

I think we're pushing our little ones too far. Every parent wants their kid to be smarter than everyone else's kid. In the schools we are now teaching in Kindergarten the same thing we taught in 2nd grade years ago. The little ones are capable of learning at earlier ages, but whatever happened to playing and just hanging out and being a little kid?
