年尾出世學生成績較遜 出生日期

根據一項新的研究結果顯示，12月份出生的學生，相對於1月份出生的同班同學，無論在小學或中學的表現都較差，主因是出生於年尾12月的學生，在同一班裏相對最年輕及最不成熟，影響在班上的表現。

該項名為《出生日期與學業成績：卑詩省學校分組方式效應》（Birthdate and Student Achievement: The Effects of School Grouping Practices in B.C.）的研究，追蹤調查了大約4.7萬個12月份出生、並於1995年入讀幼稚園的學生，他們在小學和中學的表現。

無法如期高中畢業比率高12％
該項長達15年的研究結果表明，12月份出生的小學生，閱讀及數學能力，均較1月份出生同學較差的機率，高出12％至15％；而到了中學，12月份出生的無法如期高中畢業的機率，也較那些1月份出生的同學高出12％。
該報告作者、前卑詩教育廳高級官員馬西奧（Jerry Mussio）指出，這個情況不但令這些學生處於相對劣勢，也可能對納稅人造成沉重負擔。
他說：「如果全部學生畢業率一致，每年畢業人數就增加4%或等於1,700人，而教育系統則每年可節省1,400萬元。」

或導致納稅人沉重負擔
其他類似研究結果大致吻合，但馬西奧的研究集中於1990年12月出生的學生，並且追蹤他們由1995年至2010年的學業表現。
本省在1995年成立了學生資料系統，讓當局可追蹤他們在校成績。
卑詩省兒童一般會在他們5歲生日的那年入讀幼稚園，因此在同班同學中，年齡可相差接近一年。不過，家長有權選擇等到子女6歲時才送他們入讀幼稚園。

未滿6歲入學 烈市比率最高未滿6歲入學 烈市比率最高

據卑詩省府資料顯示，烈治文市的家長，相對於本省其他地區的家長，較少會等多一年才讓小孩進幼稚園。在大溫地區各市當中，只有不足1％的烈市幼稚園學童已年滿6歲，比率低於本拿比和素里的1.1％，而在東南部內陸，類似比率平均高達5％。


烈市家長,點解咁心急?

but a lot of education/psychologist experts claim that young children are best to pick up as much as possible when they were young.

Those education specialists are talking about the high adaptability of the young children.  The earlier the children access to the subjects/issue, the more they learn.
It is another to this age issue.

The critical age is 6.  It is the mature age for the children to be logical and analytical.  Sometimes if we claim the children is irrational, it is because they are still in the preoperational stage of cognitive development.  No matter how logical you explain to them, the children still insist to their perspective.  That's why the school age is starting from 6.

拔苗助長 is an appropriate term to describe the situation which the parents urge the children aged 5 to start schooling.

What about HK, doesn't childrens start formal education much earlier...?  I am talking about what they learn from school?!

That's why most children in HK are less creative, worse in emotional development, less empathy.  Half of the Kindergarten children have problem in physical development.  They might be good in memorizing, like a copy cat.

Early education is beneficial to children during play and stimulation, but not in formal academic format.

I don't see the LYKs from Hong Kong are less creative in any way.
Many of my friends are creative and have invented a lot of technologies.

唔係播，我識很多十二月份出世嘅同學仔成績都好好嫁（包括自己果啲成績都不過不失）。俗語都有話三歲定八十，真係覺得三歲係適合開始學習的年齡，唔係話要有好密集嘅training，但係三歲至五歲開始接受知識（例如學abc，簡單中文字之類）一啲都唔算太過早啦。

小朋友由媽媽肚裡已開始學習,位 但不是港式的填鴨學習法!
我見過出生5小時的BB,可模倣動作;  見過2個月大BB對加/減數有認知!
But, we have to consider their attention span and the stage of cognitive development.
If the children is often stimulated (such as play with  an older siblings), the development will be speed up.  According to research and observation, age 6 is the time to be logical and rational.

What is logical & rational?  大家可能遇過同小朋友argue on certain issue.我們sure知道一張letter size paper多大,無論縐成一球,都是一樣!  If you ask a child who is still in the preoperational stage, he/she might say  縐成一球 is smaller than the flat sheet.  所以,我們大人要了解小朋友的認知發展, divide into 0-3 years, 3-5 years, and 6+

有些5歲半在cognitive development無問題, 但physical , social, emotional 又如何? 為何不多等一下才開始長長academic training?  多在prescool or daycare做好準備, early childhood education  已證明對將來成功有影響!

Make sense .. in pre-school ..  or grade 1/2 ..
