Are you also suggesting that we shouldn't teach kids to read until they are in high school and decide they are interested?

- Merovius 9y agoNo, I'm suggesting that we shouldn't push for kindergarten kids to read and analyze Shakespeare, because reading is so important (and in the process de-emphasize other subjects). I'm saying that the level of math education happening early (though I can only speak for my home country) is fine, just like the level of reading education happening in the early years is fine. It is completely okay to only reach Calculus and math as a structural science in your late teens and believing that you can teach that widely to kindergarten kids just doesn't work out particularly well for anyone.
