When I Think of Child Development …

We find delight in the beauty and happiness of children that makes the heart too big for the body.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

From birth to age three children have a lot to learn...

...but not all children are learning as well as they can.

Every child deserves a good start in life.

Testing for Intelligence?

I think it is necessary to assess school-aged children. Even an educator who access children in Early head start programs teachers find out areas that the child needs improvements in, and where can we find resources to help that child develop and grow to succeed in the future. As well as resources that can help that family at home. Although i was never a great test taker,because i was always nervous or over think the questions. In saying that some children may experience those same symptoms, but i still believe think that children need to be tested to learn more about how the school systems need to be changed, as well finding out if they child might have a learning disability.  A negative factor is that educators or peers begin to label those students who may be labeled as having learning disability or judging them because of there difference.

I decided to study Japan, as many of use have heard that women,men,boys and girls have a very streaked  educational system, well that's at least what i heard. As i conducted research i learned that the educational system in japan is highly valued, in the japanese culture, the teachers are paid well. The japanses government supports the educational system. Children in the school system attend school accordingly:

• 6 years primary school (shogakkou)
• 3 years junior secondary school (chugakkou)
• 3 years senior secondary school (koutougakkou)
• 4 years university

The Japanese culture still places importance on creativity, internationalism, and critical thinking in schools. The government still regulates all curricula at every level of the system, however. Even preschool has an official curriculum.
