Delaying Kindergarten

This article is very shocking to me. I do agree that schools do make you smarter. I don't think that delaying kindergarten will help a child. I think that if they start to learn earlier, they will become smarter earlier and will grow up and could even start making money earlier! Children who have a delayed start to school will be at a disadvantage to others. Parents would like to provide the best environment for their children and delaying school isn't the right support. Parents who want to give their young children an academic advantage have a powerful tool: school itself. In a large-scale study at 26 Canadian elementary schools, first graders who were young for their year made considerably more progress in reading and math than kindergartners who were old for their year (but just two months younger). This shows that delaying school isn't helpful, instead starting early would be more helpful because you learn new things at school to help you excel and know more than the kids in the grades under you. I strongly belive starting school early is much better than delaying it.
