Children Should Start School Younger Than They Do Now
There is no doubt that parents want the best for their children. Some of them believe that children should stay at home or go to kindergartens until they are seven years old.

American children finish their school at the age of 18-19. Thus, they are already mature enough to make up their mind, to choose their future occupation. As for the Russian children, they are only 16-17 years old when they find themselves at a crossroads. They haven’t understood yet what they want to be, so they do what they’re told by their parents. As a result, they realize later that they entered not the university they wanted, and studied “not their scene”. In addition to that, by sending your child to school earlier you “steal” a year (or more) of his/her childhood, real and careless childhood.
