Kindergarten Burnouts?

[Saz]

School can start at four years old in the UK. I guess the idea is that in the first 10 or so years kids soak up information like a sponge, so it's better to get the basics, (reading, writing, math) learned early. Obviously they're not doing a great job of it though, last I heard, a large percentage of boys can't read when they finish primary school, I can't remember the exact pecentage so I won't quote it.
