I never understood “skipping” a ton of grade levels. It creates socially awkward people and what in the grand scheme of things does it help the person? Traded 10 years of being around his peers and developing social skills that he can still get a phd later.

Albert Einstein was socially awkward. Do you think that having Albert be more sociable would be a good trade for him being just an ordinary smart person?

Considering all of his theories that have been proven wrong, I don't think it would have mattered either way.

unless we could have avoided nukes, in which case, send the motherfricker to trade school.

People like that will always be awkward but some might fizzle out if they have a strong connection with friends and no longer see them. Just because someone started a little later doesn’t mean they’ll be less of a scholar. It’s about the drive and want. People still need to work with other people so the ability to work well with others is a very important skill.
