Education

In order to get kids interested (or at least not completely confused and bored) in something, it's got to connect with their lives. Before introducing something and forcing them into it, they need a segue to go from an interest, problem, or passion (yes, kids have passions) in their life to a work that compliments it.

It has to be brought to light BEFORE even introducing it. Instead of cramming as much as possible into a year, it should be started early and nurtured. It should take as long as it needs to get a spark, and from then on, the pace can quicken.
