Earlier there were videos by Davidson Talent Development that I can't find now. �One of them was about "early college". �It went into detail about the ways you can tell and the reasons your kid might need or benefit from early college. � When the video only described how to identify an early college candidate I thought to myself, "they are or they aren't. and they will or they won't. �they're ready whenever they're ready. �isn't that the easy obvious part?"

Then I read this thread on the Well Trained Mind forum:

Inside this thread uncovers an apparent trend of parents who are planning to rush their children through school to graduate with a bare minimum of credits to go through a college like Phoenix online, not even a community college. Yes, the distinction needs to be made between kids who are educated and competitive at a younger age and kids who are rushed into getting the easiest diploma. �I didn't know until reading that thread that there was a need for a PSA to distinguish between the two.
