I am not sure how it works because I have not tried it. I have 3 kids and they all go to school and they love it.
It is good because they learn to socialise. I always talk to them about not getting involved in wrong crowds and they know always that when they finish school they should come home straight away. So much is happening these days that parents do not feel safe anymore sending children to school.
I have a son in school and he loves it too he is young but he enjoys it a lot.
