Hi,
I've posted here before, but not for a while.
Background: We homeschool. Our 13 year old is highly gifted, and has been skipped to 9th grade successfully. She and her sister, who is also in 9th (age-appropriately, though)took the ACT a few weeks ago and both got a score of 28 composite.
They're both asking to begin college early, but I feel lost about how to handle it. Are we crazy to think that they could both jump from where they are in high school to all or almost all college classes?
I think they could handle the material, but it seems wrong somehow to skip over the rest of the high school classes. They've both told me that they would rather take the college level class (for example, in english) and get the college credit for it, and possibly be able to get their degrees earlier in life.
I guess I'm just looking for reassurance from others who have gone this route before, lol. Any advice/hand-holding would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
