Is it worth joining the school earlier?
At the beginning of yet another school year, many students are preparing to enter the first year of primary school. For many parents, this is also a time of uncertainty. Many doubt the maturity of their children to face this new period in their lives. Questions about the age of entry to school are of great relevance, especially for the parents of pupils who were born in the last months of the year and who will have a higher age difference from their classmates.
