Are kids prepared to learn statistics ? Why to teach statistics for kids ?

I was discussing these questions with some collegues and several of them
said that kids are NOT prepared for statistical abstraction and then..... I
would like to to know about your opinion. This is not a question about "how"
but "why" to teach !

It seems to me that sometimes statistics can be used in classroom using real
life examples more easily than math.

Maybe this is a question for a specialist in theory of education (any
available?)
