9 Year Old Black Genius Graduates High School

Nah. I gotta draw a line here. Parents should have slowed him down. They are selfish.
He will not be a well developed adult. Let's not pretend that a 9yr old boy who has had no social development with his 4th grade peers is a good thing.
I completely applaud a young person finishing highschool at a reasonable 1-3 years early but this child will have psych issues years from now. Imagine being ridiculed by your true peers (8-9 yr olds ) and ostracized by your 20 year old college classmates in your most formal years. I don't even wanna imagine how his relationships with the opposite sex will be in the next decade .

Who are you to draw a damn line?You don't know whether he'll be developed or not in life, you are just assuming with a limited understanding of the situation.
The parents want the best for their kid and they are getting it while you sitting here backseat parenting like you know better than David's own parents.
His “ peers” are going to see him as a “lame” regardless.
TJ Henderson showed us that this is okay
i honestly don't know if this is the case or not. Have you heard any stories of child geniuses finishing school early and having social development issues?
needs to be some documentary on this, because i never hear any followups to their stories after these initial feats.
Please LORD protect this young black king.
Protect this young black king from "da culture".
Protect this young child from the pressure to dumb himself down because "da culture" doesn't recognize or glorify the intelligent black man but instead celebrates the drugdealers and gangbangers.
It would break my heart to see an update on this young brother in 10 years and he's now a skinny jeans wearing , neck & face-tatted "aspiring rapper".

I Disagree. magnet and stem based schools do exist. Smart children are routinely pulled from The traditional pipeline for these reasons and they are allowed to develop and thrive socially with like minded peers . This kid has had none of that.
He is running at a social deficit. You could honestly run highschool and middle school solo, but this dynamic changes dramatically in both the adult working and college world. Imagine throwing him into an organic chem class where you must play social politics to finish your lab assignments and must form alliances .
Agreed followups would be nice. But keep in mind we know these instances would not be studied by a developmental psychologist because any college board would view it as unethical . This kid is a real world longitudinal study.
Given his father's proffesion, he should know this. I'm willing to bet his father used him as an unethical experiment. Notice how his father wisely and slyly tried to stop the boy from talking when the announcers prompted him to speak to Niel. Notice how once the boy started talking, the standard things (like greetings, farewells, an acknowledgement of Tyson's position, an inability to signal understanding to the speaker,etc ) we're missing. These are things both his fellow freshmen in college and fellow grade schoolers would have no problem doing.
Im willing to venture that if you allowed this child to speak uninterrupted for 20minutes all sorts of red flags would be immediately visible.
I took chemistry 1&2, computer science, and graduated with a b.s. in physics. I never needed a lab partner or needed to play "social politics". I was still able to get research positions because of my work and recommendations from professors.
I am not saying social politics aren't at play but a student that stands out will be recognized by their professors and will go far in life.

People always say this untrue shyt.
Kept him in school so he could “socially develop”… how, by joining the glee club or some shyt?
School is supposed to be about education and thats it. It’s a daycare now that rarely teaches kids ANYTHING that they will need to become functioning adults.
Plenty of kids have dropped out or who were home schooled who grew up to become functioning adults.
Reminded me of when LaMelo skipped college and all these clowns were saying he would never make it to the NBA because he needs college, and he will “miss out” on some shyt.
This kid has friends, plays like a normal kid, etc. he’s just smart af. Hold him back so he could “socially” develop when he could be doing important shyt that socially benefits everyone?

Breh, you can tell this little boy gonna be a a$$hole
There should be more programs and institutions that can properly house and develop BLACK talents like this.
There are alot of ways this young man can go astray.
Wish as a culture we put more effort into brothers like this than the polar opposities. Imagine schools and college's full of black children just like this.
Then with a pipe line to help put these black children in work spaces and enviroments for US.
I would hate to see a talent like this ultimately just end up working in some racist white billionaire's company. Just another cog in the machine.

The kid will be fine. People just hate what they don’t understand & tend to project their inadequacies on other people.
There’s a black girl like him who did the same thing in the UK & she ended up fine .Today, she’s a Computer Scientist (John Hopkins & Oxford Uni) - with honorary doctorate from a lot of top Unis including Oxford Uni & the current president of BSA (British Science Association) at just age 32.
