Reply to comment by [deleted] in Pennsylvania 9-year-old graduates from high school, starts college by SAT0725

But no matter what the parents do, he'll still be a young child in college and never experience it in the way that other college students do. College is such an important time to grow, make mistakes, and figure things out. He'll never get that.

Oh, definitely, I was referring more to the elementary/high school experience.

I don't disagree that college is a great experience, but not everyone has that experience. I had friends who were military/traveled/worked and went to college at an older age, sometimes with families. I have other friends who never even went to college. They never got those experiences but made mistakes and grew in other ways.
