I agree with you. I’m sure the parents think their daughter is mature but putting a 13 year old against a bunch of kids in their 18-19-20’s.... I don’t know.

You were saying ...

Yep, those 18-24-year olds can twist that 13-14-year-old into circles, with their social-skills (and those can be quite abusive social skills, too...). She might have some good head-knowledge and be "fact-smart" and intelligent that way, but she'll be beat down and whipped around socially.

Who says the “kids” are 18-20? Community colleges are usually heavy on older students, especially the kind who weren’t academically prepared for or interested in college at the usual age. If they want her to start getting exposure to other students who are her academic peers, a local community college is hardly the place to find them.
