To know how effective early education is just watch the fundamentalist religious sects like Bahai's, Fundamentalist Jews, Menonites and other Christian sects. They start the intense religious education of their children very early and by 6 years old, these young ones have been totally converted to that religion in a way that rarely any one of them can break away from the path later in life and nearly all of them remain faithful to the sect and belief. Because early education to the brain is like operating system to the computer. You can't change the operating system once it is installed, you can upload and install other software, but the main operating system will always be there. No other software can be run without the operating system and if they don't run on the operating system, they are rejected.
When the fundamentalist groups can do it so good, why can't we, the rational science loving normal people do the same? The governments should start education much earlier. But what they do? They only accept the children after 6. By that time, any alchoholic, addict, mentally sick, uneducated parent has already clouded their children's mind enough that no education in the world can change them.
If we want a better world, nothing can cut to the bone and no road is more direct to it than a good early education.
we are all passengers on this little blue planet. this is the logbook of one of those passengers.

SO MUCH WEALTH AND SO MUCH POVERTY
What is the use of creating so much wealth when most of it is absorbed by the 5% rich at the top and nothing reaches the middle and lower classes. Every year our productive powers is increased but what is the use of it for the masses? As long as the CEOs and the rich pay themselves billions of dollars, the mass of people are not going to benefit from this wealth. Reminds me when I was in England. I was always wondering why despite that this nations plundered the whole world for more than 200 years, the average British are so poor and live in much worse situation than even people in Iran, until I noticed that much of that wealth was turned into huge estates and expensive merchandise for the rich and did not reach the people.
It is so much true that "Trickle down economy would have worked miracles, if only we did not have such huge sponges at the top!".
