Now that I think about it, you could say that I started college at age 16. I was still a High School Senior but I had met most of the requirements for graduation so the school paid for me to attend the local university. (I graduated from HS and started attending college full-time out of state at age 17.)
Any program which allows bright students to accelerate their progress is good in my book.
- unalone 18y agoWe had a system like that, too. The problem was that it was an ugly workaround. I think that making the system better should be preventing exceptions, not using them to avoid a broken system.
- jleyank 18y agoTheir "progress"? Their progress at what? I went to school at 16, and it's a mistake. Most people, certainly myself, are not socially prepared to deal with the environment at 16. Hell, if people are being coddled today, there's no way in God's green earth that they can self-organize on their own at that age. Yeah, people do it successfully, but then some people can remove their own appendices and live. Just don't bet that way.
