I don't know if you can do much lateral, once you are doing applied calculus and get into college level physics. You can slide with Enlgish and Shakespeare and head into languages, but once you get to a certain level in the sciences, you have to keep going.

How many times can you talk about Bernoulli's theorum. And you need resources to head into chemistry. I would not want to mix hydrocloric acid at home to do lab work.

There was another poster who talked about his son pushing the agenda and just getting to college at 12 and it sounds like this child is pushing his agenda to learn.

As much as we may want to choose his pace, perhaps sometimes you can't. And I think you have to be open to the fact that this child is just motivated to push to take those courses now. Not that you push him, but maybe he just needs it.
