Outrageous! I think they should still start school at 5 years old.
What? This doesn’t make any sense!!!
cool news
awesome now i might take my little sister earily now don’t i?
no i’m a kid that would be wrong the kids would miss a lot of their child hood
Wow that is a good rule and mums and dads don’t have to work
Good rule and good thing for parents
Outrageous! I’m still glad I don’t have any siblings =D
Mean they are only four!
Hmm… Big change, I think they haven’t changed the age you can go to primary school in a few decades… (at least that’s what I think)
4 year olds wont understand what is even going on
I think this is an excellent chance to become smarter and learn more! A lot of four year olds can’t wait to go to school and now they don’t have to wait! – 13 year old
I think 4 year old’s are perfectly capable of starting school. As long as they are prepared to handle school/homework. They also should no longer require nappies or naps (short sleep) during the day.
Eh, 5 year olds starting school was better cause it is not fair for the 4 year olds to start school earlier than they should. Unless they are definitely ready. I think it should be up to their parents to decide whether their child should start school at the beginning of the term.
Well I Still Wont Be Able To See My Bro Next Year So XD
I think 4 year old’s are perfectly capable of starting school
It’s only like an extra month no big deal

that news was interesting because four year old kids are now allowed to go to school.
WHAT WHY THATS STILL WAY TO YOUNG
just wow
that is amazing
I’m still pondering whether it’s a good idea
