Residential school survivor graduates high school at 61, says it's never too late for education

I'm not an expert on this, but I still want to have a fruitful conversation on this topic. I didn't mention the specific age of a child, but regardless, it's not about the vocabulary a child can build but the good grasp they end up having. From solid grammar (even though they don't even know what that is) to fluency in speech (this includes things from dialects to accents).

It's also worth mentioning that this applies to multiple languages. I, for one, learned my native tongue, Arabic and English and expressed myself well in all of them (I was around 5 years old, and I'm not even smart by any metric).

You can probably deny it as much as you want, but any amount of learning neglected during the early phase of life is almost irreversible. This includes anything from social skills to even the ability to see properly.
