Can anyone actually give a reasonable reason/advantage why its a good idea to have a 12-13 year old commit 9 years of their life .I must honestly be missing something. I have read the above posts and have yet to see a reasonable explanation as to why its a good idea. I get its a great school but it will be just as great in 3 years.
Forget the military part - I can't think of a good reason to commit to any college at that age. And I don't want to hear the "dream school" excuse - that's the parents' dream, not the child's.
