      Ah. Are the claims for starting later based mainly on Finnish studies? Because I can think of a few relevant confounding variables…

      Could we be seeing mostly null effects plus publication bias?

      We have kind of the same debate in the UK. The gov wants to provide nursery care to allow more mothers to work part/full time, but at the same time people argue that Finland has one of the best education systems and don't start school until seven.

      My instinct is that at that age, as long as they are learning to read, write and socialise, not much else is important. Would probably make them happier to not have to sit in school for six hours a day.

      My feeling (totally unsupported by any data) is that they are helpful to different sorts of children. Smarter kids probably benefit more from starting school late and less smart kids probably benefit from drilling abcs/counting/building attention span

      Couldn't you make exactly the opposite argument just as (un) convincingly? Smarter kids would benefit more from starting school early because they can fulfil their potential, less smart kids won't remember it anyway so they might as well start later.

      Maybe. Given the cognitive profile of countries that tend to start formal schooling later, it seems like a practice that works well for smart kids. But perhaps that's just coincidental.
