I am not familiar with the college school system here in the US because I was educated in the Philippines. We usually go to college at the age of 16. But I realize that the school system tries to give as much employable skills to the students because alot of them are not going to college. College at 14 take a level of maturity on the student's part and it's really case to case basis. <BR/><BR/>My question is what's the hurry on going to college at 14? From a long term perspective, what's the rush to get through college earlier? So after college, they get a masters and then a PHD degree? Then what? <BR/><BR/>My daughter is in Kindergarten and she seems to be ready to learn things that are not yet covered in her little Kindergarten class. So I'm looking to ways that can satisfy her learning thirst which the school system seem to fall short on.KK aka Tinamygoodfind.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14943121.post-63333334180459230062008-04-26T18:04:00.000-04:002008-04-26T18:04:00.000-04:00Mrs. Hannigan,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the information.

Thanks so much. I emailed this to myself so that I can save it and be able to have it when we get started. <BR/><BR/>You bring up so many great points.<BR/><BR/>Our local University has chemistry and biology for homeschoolers, but I think they require dual enrollment for it. So, maybe he should just wait and do that when he's a bit older.<BR/><BR/>I also appreciate the advice about taking easier classes first to give them a good start.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!Kristinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04589107941801563478noreply@blogger.com
