    Compulsory school age is 5, but most start in reception at 4. I do agree though that it’s far too young. People will look at you with three heads though if you suggest it’s too young here though.

      It is more about having a place to dump your child for the day. Especially true since no family can get by without dual incomes and extended social support has broken down completely.

        Also reception isn’t anywhere near as formal as Year 1. It’s pretty much an extension of the nursery experience which many children will have given the need for both parents to work to survive.

    “School” starts at 3 in France. But it’s more like a kindergarten for 3 years, then you enter primary school at 6 where you learn reading and writing.
