THe tax payers are already funding education for 14 year olds, regardless of how much money the parents have. Legally, whether you like it or not, the state HAS to pay for an appropriate education for someone that age, if the parents choose public school. If the kids were retarded, they would HAVE to fund his special ed. If he were blind, they'd HAVE to pay for specialized reading materials, etc. In this case, the child also has "special" needs...he's too smart for even the gifted programs at the area high schools. Why SHOULDN'T the state also have to pay for his specialized education? Tuition at UCLA is probably cheaper that what it costs to educate many special needs kids.
