This is an incredible waste, scroll down to Andrew Halliburton.

Hi!
It is completely ridiculous for his parents to prevent him from completing the program. Kid might be a genius, but they're teaching him that he doesn't have to finish things he starts, which is an important life skill IMHO.

Parents probably needed help with wiring a new ceiling fan.

You say that. What happens when he grows up? He’ll have no friends, no girlfriends, nothing. This kid is going to loathe his parents one day, because he never got a chance to be a kid.

Exactly.
What kind of parent wants to take away the childhood of their son or daughter? Those years are fundamental in developing a socialized adult. What's the rush to get a child educated and into the real world?

Why can’t he make friends or a girlfriend through grown up socializing?

Why should his childhood entail sitting in a classroom with slower kids being taught by slower teachers? His childhood just involves a more advanced education than most children receive. I think he’ll be a more socialized adult than the people who revel in their high school glory days. He’ll probably also avoid the inevitable bullying of the relative morons that would comprise his “peer group.”

Sheldon Cooper agrees with the parents.

Laurent was supposed to complete the three-year electrical engineering degree in just 10 months so he could meet his birthday deadline.
Here is the problem with it. Three years of school work in 10 months at the age of nine? No time to balance with other activities.
My daughter first audited university class at 8 but began attending in summers at 11. To her it was the functional equivalent of a daycare program, but just much more interesting.

I look forward to hearing what drug problem he decides to pursue. I mean, what career path he chooses.

Reminds of parents who have kids in travel tai kwon do or karate, “my little Jeighdyn has a black belt in the eleventy -thousandth degree,” okay, so you paid for your five year old to get some new clothes and accessories, he’s ready to go into the real world and mix it up with adults? nah, probably not
I'd pay good money for a streaming service that just aired those little shits fighting grown men and receiving a sobering life lesson.

Social skills are developed over time. It’s not necessarily instinctual. If he’s never had to communicate with his peers, how can he be expected to form healthy relationships?

Why do you assume he’s never communicated with peers? He could easily have a social network of other gifted kids or cousins. His peers are people who share his capacities. From this Kid’s perspective, most 9 year olds are retarded. What’s to be gained from shoving him into 8 hour days, 9 months a year, of socializing and dumbed down lessons?

So you put him in a class with a bunch of strangers twice his age that he can never relate to on a personal level? I understand the want to push him academically, but there’s more to growing up than that.
