9 Year Old Black Genius Graduates High School

Yeah, and people secretly hating on the young genius.
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.

Dap + rep.
Thanks for posting another Black scientist.

Good for him. I definitely wouldn’t encourage my kid to graduate high school at the age of 9 but different strokes

Both his parents have high degrees so he probably will never even see “da culture” from what it looks like. And he shouldn’t, seems like he was raised around education and is actually being rewarded for being smart… acknowledged for being smart.
I noticed in the “hood”, a lot of kids weren’t protected or received recognition for being smart. It was like that at least for me growing up.
I remember I was trying to graduate HS early but I switched schools and the new school fukked with my grades. I went to talk to the counselor and she literally told me that she had more important shyt to worry about, like some kid getting put out his house because he chose to sell drugs even though his parents gave him a hummer to drive to and from school.
I literally gave up after that because of all the hard work and advanced classes I had took to graduate early didn’t mean shyt. I dropped out.
Is this the “education system” and the social interaction he will be missing?
He said he wanted to be an astrophysicist… most 9 year olds don’t even know what that is and rarely do you see a young black man strive to be that.
Dude is going to be fine socially because despite missing HS (a joke) he will be around like minded individuals who celebrate his intelligence.

Imagine keeping your kids in a lower grade so he can hang around kids dumber than him. That’s literally how people become dumber, being around people dumber than them.
Even worse they end up with developmental or psychological issues because they never get to interact with anybody on the same cognitive level as them.
A genius surrounded by dummies will eventually start to feel crazy because nobody can comprehend what they’re saying or their interest.

This is true but what college student is gonna want to hangout with a 9 year old?
You touched on an important point, support. Oftentimes we are told to "figure it out" in life and receive little to no help. That, and we sometimes lose focus because of our peers and their limited thinking/mindsets take us off our path. Next thing you know we are in our 30s trying to get back on the path we were at when we were 12 before becoming sidetracked.
David and his parents acknowledge that support was crucial to David's success in life. His parents make sure he is surrounded by people that want him to succeed in life, and that type of environment where his confidence is being built up to tackle tough problems will only ensure his success.

Not just this, but past a certain grade level it’s not cool to be smart. It’s not popular, barely gets any acknowledgment without something condescending on the end. At least when i was growing up
He’s going to be surrounded by people who think what he’s doing is amazing and will continue to help him develop. Thats better than HS
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?
Exactly,saved himself many years of wasted time.
Now he can go straight to being a high functioning battery for white supremacy which is the most likely scenario.
But no one will pray about him being protected from the culture of white supremacy. Go,go get on that rat wheel and collect your 6 figures young king

This is the kind of positive Black story we need to see.
Life is gonna be awkward for him, no matter what. He can't relate to the average 9-year old...probably 12 year olds too, even if he stayed in elementary school.
HOWEVER, young breh is gifted and he'll figure out how to make it work for him. Breh gon be a 20 year old professor knocking down dime sistas and pawgs that want him to turn their B+ to an A- He'll be aiight!
Weird negativity from a couple of y'all. He'll end up being a computer scientist or researcher, or whatever he sets his mind to. He doesn't need to be held back just so he can hang out and socialize. If he decides he wants to go do other things, he can, then come back and resume, and he has time to because he's so far ahead already. Let him write his own story.
At least in part I agree. I'm not entirely sure what the parents' goals are here. I never hear stories about these super-rushed child prodigies coming out to make groundbreaking discoveries in science or being ahead of their peers in some way. I'm not just talking about missing the social experience, but also missing the free time - time to read books at leisure, time to let your mind wander, time to daydream about what you want to do. Normal prodigies get shyt done so easily that they have lots of free time to think and talk about shyt, and a lot of their greatest ideas come out of that time. You don't get that time if you're trying to rush through several years of school every year. It seems like most of the ones who really make something big out of their lives are the ones that progressed through school at the normal rate - perhaps skipped a year or two, but not completely opting out of the entire pace of life.
I remember seeing one of these kids on a daytime talk show 20 years ago, and he said something to the effect that he was going to pursue PhD's in "astrophysics, robotics, and biotech". Like he was literally just naming the most obvious pop-science ideas of big fields even though they have nothing in common with each other. I stuggle to think of any other college STEM graduate who would have such unclear ideas of what he was going to do next, which makes me think a lot of opportunity to process and experience shyt is lost in the rush.
It's nothing like that in real life. Hanging around regular people doesn't make you go dumb, failing to interact with people at your same IQ level doesn't give you developmental/psychological issues, and there's plenty of geniuses who have regular friends.
If it really worked like that, then every genius in the world for the first 99% of human history would have gone crazy, because there wasn't early sorting mechanisms for gifted children until very very recently.
