This is impressive and cool, but I have to wonder what I would do with my own children if I ever have them.
I’d want them to want to do college as early as possible, because frankly I found middle and high school to be a wildly massive waste of time and effort. That said, college has a tendency to focus on busy work and less on learning and retaining information. It’s a useful heuristic for determining ability to get work done, but it’s pretty inefficient for learning.
The biggest risk here is focusing on getting brass rings that are social signals instead of true accomplishments. I’d want my own kids to learn the value of working, and I’d much rather they have a job from an early age instead of a degree.
