[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I started school early, because my mom didnt want to pay for childcare...but thats another topic for another thread. Anyway, I TURNED 5 in the first few months of first grade. Then I skipped into third grade. So I was 13 in my freshman year of high school.

It was hard to make close friends. A lot of people saw me as and treated me like a little kid. My friends were driving. They had a different frame of reference.

But worst of all was that when I graduated at 16, I had NO idea who I was or what to do with my life. I chose my major  based on what I was like at 17.  I didnt know to look ahead. I graduated law school at 22.

Now, at 30, I know myself better. I know that I am more of a creative sort, and the law doesnt work for me. And I wish, WISH I had had more time to consider my life and who I was before I chose my career and mapped out the rest of my life. It seems like an older student would be more likely to be able to know themselves and their interests than a younger one. That extra year could be enough. [/quote]

What are you talking about?  The extra year you wish you had would put you where my child is and where many of us wish others put their children.

The question is how would you have felt if you started K as a 7-year-old --- doing the math that would have given you extra THREE years.  And that's our point.[/quote]
