Topic education or isolation

Topic education or isolation?
Education is a topic that has played an important role in human
culture all through history. Approaches vary very much in different
cultures but also in different social environments. In modern western
societies it can be observed that children are subjected to less and
less rules. Yet on the other hand the demand for well educated
workers is on a steady rise. Thus it is not surprising that some people
call for an earlier introduction of children to formal education.
Actually, it is true that the requirements of our society for education
increase while the level of education is hardly living up to them. It
might seem necessary to start formal education at an earlier age to
be able to convey more knowledge to future adults. Another reason
why it might make sense to force a child to accept a certain schedule
is to teach it to conform with a set of rules which is necessary not
only in our society but has always been a part of education. Insisting
on a certain amount of discipline might nowadays be especially
important regarding all the distractions our society offers for
children. This is also the main reason for the argument that keeping
a child occupied with studying might help to avoid some problems
of modern childhood.
Especially by introducing ways of using one's free time except for
playing video games or watching television. However it also seem
important to me to give children time to spend on their own. They
have to develop and use their natural sense of exploration, which is
an important aspect of every childhood. They also need chances to
develop their own will. The needs of modern societies not only ask
for well educated people but also for people who are able to develop
inventive approaches to various problems. Playing also is an
important field for social contact and thus forcing a child to spend
most of its time on studying might deprive it of chances to socialize
with its environment and thus it might eventually contribute to

isolating a child. I believe that if early education is to be applied
then it should be child-friendly. It should attract children to
education rather than deter them from it..
