With a protest march next week and plans to take the government to court, campaigners are making their voices heard.

On Thursday next week Kay Tart, from Hitchin in Hertfordshire, will help her daughter Isla dress in the uniform she will wear when she starts school in September. She will make sure the four-year-old’s favourite book and soft toy are in her backpack, but they won’t be heading to school. They will be joining other parents and children on the “march of the four-year-olds” to 10 Downing Street, where Isla will get her first taste of democracy.

pinkfloyd said it best - hey, teacher, leave them kids alone!

The kids that were a level or two behind in Yr6 were the same ones behind in Yr9. While I understand the not wanting to pressure kids, if you don't bridge those disparities when they are young, the school system isn't great at catching them up.

Quite right too. I didn't start school until age 5. No nursery either. Didn't do me any harm. Let children be children. We have a lifetime of being adults.

Whose brilliant idea was this? I'd march too.

Ah, capitalism, leave the kids alone. Leave us ALL alone.
