Prodigy

Some child prodigies as young as 10 years old go to universities. Do you think this is a good environment for these children? Why or why not? Explain your reasons, and give examples to support your oppinion.

I think they are too young to go to univeristies though they are prodigies. The period of about 10 years old is just their childhood and they should only enjoy it but not spend it in the boring studying. A news in China, a little boy aged 10-year old, interviewed on TV show, has been to a famous university. However, he looks the same as other little kids that we cannot imagine he has been an undergraduate. When the TV compere asked him what love and friendship were, he appeared puzzled and comfusing. Till now, he is just a piece of white paper without any color. He has no experience, definition of life, and value opinions, which he cannot learn from books . How does he get along with others in this society, can he take care of himself in the university? There are lots of questions we should think about. Sometimes, educating a prodigy early is killing him.
