    I know two wonderful Israeli kids, 7 and 4 years old, and they are certainly being disciplined by their University educated parents. I was amazed when I visited them last year, and the then 6-year old boy could already read, write and do math after only half a year in school. That certainly does not happen in Denmark, where the law says that the children should be able to read and write after 3rd grade. He did his homework every day in the presence of one of his parents and he is a bright and wonderful boy that I came to love and he me.
