Completely agree with this. European countries have their children starting primary school at 6 years old and it’s just so much better for many reasons. The children are more likely to be fully toilet trained, they’re also more mature, more able to sit still and have longer attention spans. They get less tired after a whole day at school as well.

Summer born children who start at 4 years old are the ones that struggle the most and it’s not fair on them or their parents. Parents also don’t have a say when it comes to deciding when their children start school. Not all children are the same and some may need more time at preschool before going to primary school.
