[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think early entrance to college is a really bad idea for kids under 16 or 17.[/quote] +1 I have a profoundly gifted child. Academically his is (or could be) years ahead of his peers. I have purposely found ways to provide intellectual stimulation without linear advancement through the grades. Socially and emotionally he is not in a position to be interacting with peers who are significantly older I know one other profoundly gifted child. [b]His parents advance him by skipping grades.[/b] It has been a unmitigated disaster for this child. Do not ignore the social/emotional portion of your child's growth.[/quote] So the poor kid had PITA tiger parents. Most prodigies in math and/or music (chess too) are identified by the time they're 12 or so. And the ones who apply to college early are told to do so by the college or an educator who has a very good idea about their potential not by some pushy parent.[/quote]
