There is very little to no value of education among the poor. They are continually reproducing and furthering a cycle that they themselves didn't start. The problem is no one is willing to sacrifice and break this cycle that plagues us as a country.

There are extremely shitty schools up here.

That is absurd. He should not be in 7th grade with 12-13 year olds.

Scruffy graduated high school at 17 (not because of smarts, because he started school young).

those kids are geniuses and their parents are 1000% invested in their lives. genetics, desire, and devotion along with a strong family structure and learning good work habits with their schoolwork is what is fast-tracking those kids.

Don't do it. Kid's social skills will be out of wack

I was in the 7th grade with a guy who should've been graduating that spring. He had a straight F in every class for 6 years except for math. We had an exceptional math teacher who somehow got through to the kid. The rest of them just let him nap through class.
