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.

Those classes aren’t for personal connections, they’re for learning. There are means, other than school, of socializing your child. These particular parents seem messed up, but parents of very gifted children shouldn’t force the kid to spend most of their young lives with slower peers (who often bully them).
