At age fourteen my son, Zach, went to college in Massachusetts - Simon's Rock. He received his doctorate from Brandeis at age 21 and began his professional career in computer science. He has written books and papers, traveled to many countries to give conferences in his sub-specialty, artificial intelligence. His dad and I are very grateful to the educators who made this possible and I am proud of my husband and myself for recognizing his abilities and not letting him get lost in the shuffle. He is an incredible person - not just for his intelligence but for his kindness and caring, his ethics and his creativity. Just saying - an education and parents who were perceived as "pushy" (but weren't - not for him anyway) as well as wonderful educational institutions who could accommodate a 14 year old, enabled Zach to achieve in a way in which others were discouraged from even attempting.
