<p>With all due respect, there is a world of difference between a 12 year old that got perfect scores on a math achievement test in elementary school and an 11 year old who got an A in Calculus and has graduated high school.</p>
<p>I think the problem here is that CC has a lot of parents with very smart and possibly gifted kids. These are smart kids who will probably do very well in life, but college before 18 probably would not make sense. In this case, and the others mentioned, we are talking about the very extreme academic/intellectual outliers. I don’t think a lot of people understand or are making that distinction.</p>
