Raise the school starting age to 7

Raise the school starting age from 4 to 7 years old, as is the unofficial standard in many European countries.

Why is this important?

4 is far too young for a child to enter full-time education, as they may not fully comprehend what is required of them, creating additional stress for their parents and teachers (and themselves). It is recommended that ages 4 to 6 be reserved for kindergarten education to prepare children more effectively for school per se.

How it will be delivered

I plan to gather the signatures and raise awareness of the matter in any way I can - video, audio, Internet.
