When I think about it, I could have done algebra by the 5th grade, calculus by the sixth, etc. But what is not being considered is what’s going on with those neurons, at this time, instead. It is not obvious that maximizing purely academic results is optimal.

True. It's not a good idea to swamp kids with topics they might not care about.

However, I do think they should be encouraged and tutored to go REALLY deep into anything they might be interested in.
