[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your child is doing college level work in middle school, just skip HS and go to college.  Seriously, if they really are that special.  But I doubt it.  They are probably very smart, but not a genius like Einstein.  Smart, very well prepared, with rich parents paying for every afterschool class does not guarantee TJ admissions or a successful scientist.[/quote]

PP and I are talking about a student at our school who does college level math (Calc BC) and has self-studied college level political science, economics, and international relations as well as highly advanced in science. [/quote]

How old this student. I know someone in my child's class (6th grader) who is 3+ years older. That child by age should be in high school instead in 6th grade. That child is good in math but how do you compare performance of that child with normal age child?[/quote]

You're ridiculous.  I can guarantee that FCPS has never in its history had an 8th grader who is 16 or 17 years old taking BC calculus.  FCPS would not allow a kid who is that advanced to be held back multiple times.  The absolute worst case scenario for highly advanced kids would be for a redshirted 8th grader turning 15 at the end of the school year.  Creating some absurdly farfetched scenario of this BC Calc 8th grader not being that advanced because he's actually a high school junior in disguise, and that's why he didn't deserve to be admitted to TJ is flat out offensive.  What is wrong with you?  [/quote]

I remember 16 year olds in my 8th grade class. One was full-grown wiehged 200 lbs and had facial hair.[/quote]
