School can wait. Childhood cannot .

I do agree with the writer in saying "school can wait but childhood cannot" . To me , a person's childhood is something very valuable and it only comes once in a lifetime . Since, it is supposed to be precious, why spoil your childhood with studying? Yes, studies are also important , but , at a young age, things can go a little slow-paced first. There is no need to rush into school . Nowadays, students are getting more and more stressed with so many homework and tests , resulting in little time to relax and enjoy time with their family memebers or do things that they like. Therefore, the only time where students can spend quality time with their family members without having to think much is only during the childhood years. If that time is also taken away, then what is left of happy memories?

Furthermore, the early exposure to many lessons may result in the child being unwilling to learn something new when he/she grows older next time. In addition, if the child is being forced to attend piano or violin lessons, what can the child actually absorb from these lessons that are supposed to be beneficial ? Instead, the child will feel resentful and basically, he/she will not be able to learn much. Thus, parents should see if their child expresses interest piano or violin and if he/she does, then the lessons may continue. Otherwise, parents should not force their child.

In conclusion, i feel that parents should just take things naturally and slowly. Let the kids enjoy their time in childhood , let them play with their friends, read fairytales because the experience during a person's childhood cannot be replaced by anything else in the world, not even getting the best grades or the best job.
