Fair warning-- not all science teachers in high schools are thrilled with kids that already "know" what they are teaching, either. You'd think they'd be thrilled to have a kid that INTERESTED, but it isn't always the case.

(Witness exhibit A, my DD's biology teacher. {sigh} )

I'm not sure that the answer is "you stop that scholarly activity right this instant, young lady-- what are you trying to do?? RUIN YOURSELF for high school chemistry?"

In any case, though, be aware that this is not necessarily a problem that gets better with time.

Of course, DD can hide what she does on the side that much better now that she's 13 and not 7. So there is that.
