<p>that stops being a problem in college. where i go to school most professors will make mistakes on the blackboard once or twice in a class period. students will correct the typos, and the professor will thank them and move on. high school teachers seem to have much more fragile egos. i think it’s because everyone knows the professors are smart anyway so it’s not like they lose status by being sloppy at the blackboard.</p>
<p>How horrible it would be to show up for move-in day to the dorms your freshman year and find a 10-year old sharing your room!</p>
<p>Even if she went to college early, who would hire her for a “real” job if she’s not even legally an adult upon graduation? I think she would miss out on being a kid if this happened. She would not likely make friends in college. I don’t see heavy studiers or party kids, or really any group wanting to hang around a girl so young. And if they did, I’d wonder about their motivation to do so.</p>

<p>This type of person is clearly meant to be an academic.</p>
<p>That said, what’s the rush? If she’s that smart she should be self-learning for right now. There’s no point in her sitting in a freshman calculus class (or an intro analysis class), she can read a book and get it herself. It doesn’t make sense to send a 10 year old, no matter how smart, off to college.</p>
<p>Even as an academic, many graduate programs do not especially like admitting uncommonly young students. Even if they have the smarts, they have not had much life experience nor are fully developed to the point of knowing what exactly they want to do for the rest of their lives, or even a good portion of their lives. </p>
<p>And I agree, rushing it is not the best option. Let the poor kid have a somewhat normal life. She needs to learn how to interact with people her age and respect them even if their abilities are far below hers. She’s too young to be looking down on her peers and teachers when she points out that they’re wrong. It’s not a healthy trait to be encouraging.</p>
