The Importance of Early Education

Sally Kohn: I always have thought it's absurd that we don't teach kids foreign languages until they get to junior high. So much of what we learn about ourselves in the world in our way of thinking comes from early education, she says. If you are on your emotional brain, if you're on fight, fight, or freeze, you cannot think critically, and here we are asking kids, we're scared, sitting in a classroom to learn. That is where we could fix a lot of this, according to Kohn.
