And people like her usually never stop learning.

Lucky.

You go girl!

did the same thing last year. She received her Associates Degree in Science and then 2 weeks later her high school diploma. Obviously these kids are taking advanced courses and good for them. Said granddaughter entered college in the fall of 2013 and just finished her Junior courses.

For my wife and I, it was 30 years ago. We attended Bard College at Simon's Rock (simons-rock.edu).

I'm pretty disappointed with comments #1 and 2, though. Students who choose paths like this maintain strong peer groups (usually much stronger than they had before). And there's nothing that says that a graduate has to start in the work force sooner.

Both comments fail to take into account the incredibly isolating situation kids like this are in prior to finding this sort of program. They are often set apart from their peers emotionally and/or intellectually. These sorts of programs aren't for everyone. But for those who take to it, it can be a life saver.
