I have concerns over allowing children to "miss" childhood... while I applaud his achievements, I am reminded of another prodigy who went to Harvard at 16 and started teaching there at age 25...
He went on to become infamous and now resides in
ADX Forence in the USA.
His name?
Ted Kaczynski
Not going to say it will happen, but to err is human... so err on the side of caution.
