I left
high school when I was
fifteen, with a
diploma received after successful
completion of my
freshman year in
college (a
state law in PA). I had taken the whole
curriculum in
mathematics,
science,
english, and
history as well as additional courses taken at
Carnegie Mellon University. Got my
1580. I was the biggest
nerd in school-- but I wasn't too much of a tool so it didn't matter so much.
So I moved out of my home in
Pittsburgh at
fifteen to go to
Simon's Rock College of Bard in
Massachusetts, a
school designed specifically for younger
college students, on a full
academic scholarship.
Penn State and
CMU also wanted me straight out of
sophomore year. In fact, my older sister started
CMU's
Electrical and Computer Engineering program full time at
13. She went to Pittsburgh
public schools just like SB5.
Don't just
whine on
everything2 about being
too smart for high school. Do something about it. Go to
college. Take
courses.
Get off your ass.
Prove it.
