Podagogy - Season 9, Episode 3 - Why we’re doing too much, too young, in education

“The earlier you go, the more likely you are to pick up kids who may just catch up on their own – they’re just late starters,” states https://www.psy.ox.ac.uk/team/dorothy-bishop (Dorothy Bishop), professor of developmental neuropsychology at the University of Oxford.
