  Brian: That may be true once children reach secondary school but I think that in their early years they're like sponges for knowledge.
  
  With the right encouragement in the pre-school environment children will go on to excell. I've seen this first hand from the days when my wife owned and operated her own pre-school nursery and a majority of her charges went on to do well in primary education and then on to grammar school and university.
  
  When I was a youngster a nursery was somewhere that grew flowers and my pre-school education consisted of being taught to read and write by my parents. By the time I went to St. Andrews CofE primary school my reading age was already two or three years ahead of most of my peers - and I was only four!!!
