Going to college at 16 was a worry of ours before we skipped DS. But now we're working on a "gap year" plan. Somewhere, likely for a year in high school either at the end of high school or in the middle, we will either homeschool and travel or he'll do a foreign exchange program or take an internship and research or something along those lines. Lots of families work with a gap year and have different ideas how to make this work.
I want DS to have the full dorm, college life experience that both DH and I had. But I don't want him to have that at 16! So he'll have time to do something bold and different that he wouldn't otherwise have.
