Do the kids really want a college degree and high school degree before age 18?
As cheap and quick as college degrees are, missing out on being a kid/teen and high school are not something I wish I had done. Their peers will go to college at 18, likely live in dorms, while they miss out on so many experiences.
I wish I hadn't graduated high school early and had chosen the social experience with my peers. Socializing, friendships, and kid/teen milestones are more the point of high school than academics. Kids get to be a kid once. Rushing that by graduating high school at 16 to work isn't as much of a dream scenario as it sounds. I graduated high school early, and it means missing out on the social experience to say the least. The kids could go to grad school early- but they won't be physically developed or socially developed like their peers. Being constantly out of place and younger than everyone in life stage really sucks. I got a job very young after graduating high school early and regret it. I had the option of homeschool/online school but opted to go back to an actual school with kids my own age. I regret graduating early and missing out on those teen milestones and progressing through life with my peers.
