Would you let your child go off to college very early? If so, would you let him/her go if the college was close to home or would a distant college or university be okay?


Well, technically mine won't be a high school grad because he is not going to finish highschool. But he is going to college early. By age he would be starting highschool next fall, instead he will be at college fulltime. This is most definitely the right path for him. If I was to do things over again, my only change would probably be to move him up one more year. He was really ready for fulltime university classes this last year.

These things are not mutually exclusive.

Everyone is different and everyone follows their own path.
