Hot housing babies

From my various discussions with parents, almost ALL are of the opinion that the young ones should not be schooled or educated much in their first 4 years. This is to give them the "only" time to enjoy childhood. Before the onslaught of formal education, and its attendant pressures, anyway. Do you think this is advisable? What about the child's rate of development, and eventual intellect?

Nobody said notto tach your children things at home. we just said it is not fair to the children to force 2 year old babies to sit in class all day and not have time for play. Why do YOU think its important that thechildren be pushed to excel before they are even able to speak? Do you really think a hild forced this way will be happy, or do you not care about anythingbut the money that child will amke for its greedy parents.Before they can learn how to learn, they have to learn how to play. They can't do that in a classroom

By the way, forcing a baby to learn things from birth does not make him even one bit smarter, it does, however, make him more rude and obnoxious.
