>>11366453I was pretty "slow to launch," academically speaking. My parents were the sort who home schooled, but taught us very little. They spent years trying to teach me fractions. But around 14 or so, I started teaching myself, due to a strong work-ethic. I started learning very quickly, and got myself up to a college level with no problem.
I would put very little focus on seriously teaching someone something before they're around 14 years old. That time should focus more on playing. I remember spending years crying and getting yelled at because my progress was stagnant. There's a book called "Miseducated" that talks about how it can be detrimental to try cramming a bunch of stuff into children early on.
>>11366111 (checked)I started dual-enrollment at 16. I started with a single class and worked my way up to full time. It was nice to get babied into college like that. I think it would've fucked my shit up to go from nothing to full time.
