I agree that children are fast learners and do a good job with tables and tests. As an instructor I always recognized that they would need a little more assistance with the bookwork. It is nice when they can do that out of the classroom because it let’s me know what areas I need to concentrate on in the classroom. But..it is not a requirement and both myself and an instructor associate have spent a lot of time working through the material in the classroom with a class of or including younger children. It takes a little extra effort on the part of the instructor but is really worth it in the long run. We both really enjoy teaching younger children and the return we get is worth the extra time. Wish I could have done it at their age.
