As someone with a high IQ, I love this idea. I absolutely loathed high school due to all the teasing and what-not. If I could have gone to a place where I was treated more as an adult, I'm sure I would have done better academically.

As it was, I hated college because it was reviewing the same subjects I'd already learned in high school, which strikes me as an insane waste of time and money.

That's why I dropped out; the material didn't strike me as worth learning. If I'd been learning it for the first time, I would have been a lot less dissatisfied and a great deal more likely to have completed school.

Did you go to a "top tier" school? There shouldn't be that much remedial work. I've got to believe there was a program out there in some college which would have challenged you.

I am wary of people skipping too many grades, as they only worsen the problem of feeling socially outcast. Besides, college is the time to relax.
