At age did you start going to school?....

I started kindergarten when I was 4....and never stopped since then...lol My older son started Pre-nursery when he was 3. And yes, you can include me on those set of parents...because I might put my younger son in a toddler group at the school I plan to teach when he is 18 months. If I wasn't going to teach, he would be home till 3 atleast. But since I have been offered the job and since the option is available, I would rather have him with me than leave him with a maid at home. It would be better if I had relatives to be with him at home(though I still prefer it if 'I' could be there)...but since that is not an option, this is the next best.

I had started going to school at the age of two. So early ? yep..

i started wid kindergarden when i was tree. then started wid my primary education at the age of four. Here in india we have junior kg , senior kg n then the first year.

I was 7 and it was infuriating because most of the children were allowed to start at age 6. I must have driven my mum nuts with the whining "Now am I old enough to go to school. How many more days must I wait?" My siblings were older and loved school, so I couldn't wait. It was so nice when they showed me their books and told me what they learned each day.

I was 5, but would have loved to go sooner.

I was 3 or 4 years old. My parents enrolled me in a methodist school where they have nursery to kindergarten grade there. It was fun! Have lots of pics there from childhood.

I was dragged off to school reluctantly at the age of 3v years and 11 months. It was far too early in my opinion and i didnt learn anything for a year blessed be

I started going to school when I was 5 years old. I went to nursery before then it was sort of like school.

My birthday landed the day after the cut off date for starting kindergarten so I did not start for another year. I was 6 when I started. it probably worked out best that way. I did not want to go at all, and I recall holding on very tightly to the bed railing and my parents tugging at my legs in the air trying to make me let go.

It was when I was 3. Every kid here have to go to school when they are 3. It's kind of like day care, we played games, learned to write our names, learned some basic alphabets and sang songs. Those were the good and fun times!

I started primary school at 5. But before that I did go to pre-school sometimes, it was pretty fun, I was able to be entertained so easily... I think mostly I just ran around while I was at pre-school.

I started when I was 5 years old. Same as with my brother and sister. My younger brother however started when he was 4 years old. When we enrolled him for 1st Grade, he was 6 years old at that time. Normally here in the Philippines, a First Grader should have an age of 7.

i started going to school at 6, i was in grade 1 then, even i know how to read and write at 4 my mom does not want me to send to school that early, she wants me to enjoy my childhood days out of school first, me i wont send my children too early in the near future, they have to enjoy first..

I remember i started when i was 5 because i always remember my karate class i always prefer not go to that class and remained in the classroom hearing stories about animals xD.

wow. a two-year old going to school?? that kid must be a genius! i only know about a three-year old going to prep. my friend's son wanted to go to school when he was 3 but the school didn't accept him because he was too young. he had to wait for the next year. he is such a smart kid. and he's my godson. ^__^;; i first went to school when i was 5 i think. because when i reached 6, i was already in Grade 1 and during that time, schools don't really accept kids below 7 years old. but i was persistent and they agreed to accept me but on a temporary basis. i think they agreed that if i pass all the subjects, i can proceed to Grade two. so i was the youngest in my batch even when i was in high school. ^__^

my birthday fell the day after the cut off for school age enrollment so I had to wait an entire year for being 1 day too young. I started school then at age 6.

I went to play school when I was three and primary school when I was five. Then I went to secondary school when I was eleven. When I was sixteen I went to college for two years. In my twenties I went to university. My son went to nursery school when he was three and primary school when he was four. He was in the Reception year of schooling. By law children must go to school by five in the UK but most start at four. He began secondary school when he was eleven. My nine month old son goes to a play group for disabled children. He has spina bifida. When he is older he might go to a mainstream school or a special school. I worked as a children's nanny in Finland and children began school at seven there. In the Netherlands they start later than the UK but speak English quite fluently by the time they are eleven. In fact children in some countries start late they learn at a fast rate. Girls can be ready to learn to read and write at four but some boys are not ready until five or six. It is sad if they get bored in school before they have learned to read and write.

I went to primary school when I was 7 years old. At that time 7 years old was the suitable time for children go to school. Now many children go to school at the age of 6. So I think I will let my son go to school at that time.

I started school at age of 7. Today our kids in Sweden start at age of 6. I think it is too soon They are still kids and it is a hard world in school today. They demand to much of them and the community want them to learn quickly. I think our kids today have to much to handle and many kids are feeling stressed out and get lots of things to worry about to soon.

Well i started going around the ages of 3-and 4. It was ok. I learned alot. Thinking back though i might have wished my parents choose differntly. Oh well.
