[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Np here. It depends on how the child develops but if they are not on a healthy trajectory with appropriate interventions...there can be vast differences in academics and maturity--negative and positive--in high school. Abstract thinking may not kick in until later meaning he will be behind and not do well in Algebra....and we have data that shows the higher level of math you take, the less likely you are to drip out of collegr. But hey, this is not my kid so I don't have to deal with it. But I may have to deal with an immature college freshman in my office having a meltdown because they can't handle the demands of college. Then I get annoyed.

DH went to college at 17. It worked out for him because it was a highly structured environment with far more support that most institutions.  However, he still thinks he was too young.  [/quote]

And on the other side of things, I went to college a few months after turning 17 and I did fine-  not too young at all.[/quote]
