You make a good point. It was completely necessary for me, not at all for Tom. If this kid can position himself in such a way that he has access to the kind of resources that universities have without having to go to one... he should be quite happy.
- shawndumas 14y agohaving already had the meeting with his parents one of the biggest problems that was identified was that they had no objective means to evaluate his abilities. it's like he was a piano prodigy and they were deaf... both of them were stunned to hear my assessment of his abilities and accomplishments. it was like they could suddenly hear. it was very much an emotional and pivotal moment in the meeting. my wife was crying... and to be honest it was all i could do to not cry. his skill set is only incidentally related to minecraft; he could make a living at any of the three major disciplines that he has demonstrable competence in. they were so sad that all this time they were missing out on how happy they could have been for him.
