[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would that accelerated kid get four years of math in during HS itself??

I don't see much point unless the kid is planning to go to MIT at age 15.

MIT [i]rarely [/i]accepts students that young because they're not emotionally ready at that age.  Source:  My husband and I both went to MIT (at age 18) and they literally said that during orientation.

I also remember that, when I was a freshman taking the first class in the electrical engineering/computer science major track, the professor projected a photo of a nude woman on the screen.  I don't recall the exact reason, but it had something to do with teasing what could be found on the young Internet if you had coding skills back in 1997.  Anyway, he got in trouble, not for the nudity itself (and no one in the administration at MIT cared about the few women in the class being offended in 1997), but because it was a freshman course, and there was [b][u]one [/u][/b][u]17[/u]-year-old in the class who would not turn 18 for a few more weeks.  He could not show nudity to a minor.  Being that he was a famous and tenured professor, he was just given a light reprimand, and promised to not do it again.[/quote]
