I think the early years - 4-6 - should focus on social skills, imaginative play, critical reasoning and problem solving, rather than insisting kids rote learn numbers and letters etc. Literacy and numeracy, sure, as part of this process, but they shouldn't be a focus in and of themselves in early learning.
Yep, agree.

I also think kids are tested far too young these days. The primary years should be for exploring etc rather than getting kids tested with exams from such young ages. Too much pressure I say.
