I found "The End of Education" (http://www.amazon.com/End-Education-Redefining-Value-School/...) an interesting (if not completely persuasive) argument that earlier education should be more about teaching values (for example, consider the "American dream" vs how elementary schoolers learn to ask "will this be on the test?") than facts.
