Are the children over-burdended with academics ?

These days even from primary school onwards, children are made to study a lot of high-end things. I strongly believe in "chronological maturity" and as such a child has to attain a minimum age to understand a particular thing, say, computer programming and the like. But, ignoring that the curriculam is prepared and the same is stuffed on them. Infact the children are robbed of their childhood in the name of academics. The detrimental effect of this would be known only after sometime when it would be too late to take the remedial measures.

well.. children are being taught because they really need it for their future purposes.. ^_^ Plus, they don't get robbed of their childhood in school.. They meet new friends, playmates, and learn different things that would normally be learned from books and like... ^_^
