Oh Jelvie! You don't know how good it is to hear another person say that primary schooling is very, possibly more, important! I couldn't agree more but almost every time I'm discussing education with friends they said things like "well, we might consider sending our children to private high school because that's more important". I agree those years are important but no more so than the early years. When I am brave enough I actually reply to these people that "Oh well, I think the primary years are important because it establishes the child's attitude toward learning, the social aspects of school and their feeling towards authority figures like teachers".
We might not be able to afford private high school but at least our DD has already positive attitude toward formal education... she loves learning and going to school... so now she would probably adapt to and do well anywhere.
