I don't think that because my kids go out to school that they don't learn anything at home. My eldest son is 4.5, but already wants to help gardening, cooking etc. I also think that there are huge social opportunities for kids outside school hours, whether they are sport, religion or family based. Just because kids go to school doesn't stop their parents teaching them *extra* stuff.
