Big title on The Telegraph:” One in seven children cannot write own name after a year at school“. After reading the title I really thought the article was about young pupils who are literate after the first year of school.

Then, after reading the first sentences, I realized that in fact the article is about kids who are 5 years old and who cannot write their own name before steping in the Year One of school.

Is it just me or those kids are too young to be in school? I don’t know how things are in England but I know it’s too early to say it’s a bad thing for a 5 year to not know how to spell and write different words.

If those kids have studied for a year how to count and write words, it means that those poor creatures have been taught all those things at the age of 4!

Maybe some people agree with that, but I think it’s not really good for a child be “tortured” with spelling lessons at the age of 4. Where’s the fun in being a kid? Where’s that happy childhood?

These days kids go to school earlier than most of older generations, and for what? To ruin its childhood?

I guess that in these modern times, when parents are too busy in fighting for careers and jobs. It’s really sad.

A young child needs to experiment things, to see the world, to get to know things in his own way.

I never agreed with mothers who use to smother their kids. Let the child make mistakes. Let the child explore things. Otherwise, many of them will grow up addictive to mothers and that’s really a big loss.

I have so many friends who were used in being smothered and pampered by their parents and now they cannot make it on their own. They find themselves trapped in a wold they cannot understand because they never had the chance to do anything.

They have no clue about cooking an egg or paying the electricity bill. They find it too hard to ask for directions or other opinions. It’s really sad! And this is the parent’s fault!
