How should children spend their time? In our rapidly changing world people begin to understand more and more that nothing is so valuable but knowledge Education has become an important part of people`s life and due to this some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies But others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing To my mind these two views should be balanced so not to go to the extremes Here are my arguments for this view : According to the first point of view that children should start early their studies brought me to the conclusion that it can be harmful and damaging for a child`s inner world and personality Here is my example : As I am a teacher I see the result of beginning early education Children who start early are deprived and robbed of their childhood and their intrinsic right to play In this way they keep playing at school and the process of learning stops immediately Besides, the child that is not allowed to play and has to study can begin hate education process and teaches So it can spoil the whole picture When facing a question of early education it is also important to note that children who begin to study at an early age are often overloaded by studying material and homework and they are not ready to cope with this Besides some parents neglect their children and not pay attention to the child`s problems at school so here is the immediate result of hating school The second opinion that children should pay more attention to playing than studying at an early age is also for some extent faulty because the child is not prepared for school at all and has no idea what he is going to at school and in this way he cannot be able to manage the school education program In conclusion I would like to point out that by all these illustrations I keep to the idea that education should be balanced appropriately so that not to deprive a child of the childhood that can be only once in life And it is quite essential to manage to see whether the child is ready to go to school and cope with such challenges or this should wait a bit for him to have the pleasure of the play
