Really? I often hear the opposite, kids I knew who got a bachelors degree at 17 say well now what? What is the rush!

This isn’t about it being a rush. For kids like mine, they NEED it. My son wanted to learn calculus when he was 9 but I refused and instead sent him to outdoor summer camps, sports camps etc. He still doesn’t know calculus because I told him not to rush it and he is resentful but instead he took geometry, number theory etc. He wants to learn at an accelerated pace, it’s not about anyone except for him pushing himself because he needs it.

Yes he needs intellectual stimulation.

But is that going to come from being in 6th grade instead of 3rd grade?
