You're never too young for a lab.. (Score 1)

.. but being 8 you're way too young for the social aspects of uni life. You dont go to school to be taught that 1+1=2 and the Schroedinger equation (you can learn those in your back yard with a private tutor), you go to school to identify and share the social interaction with fellow human beings and gradually be adapted to your society role. What does an 8 year old do when the rest of the campus drills holes to their livers down the local club? Or roll up a fat one? Or date? People would approach him while he's still under media coverage to steal some karma. When the hype is over he's a sad little bastard locked in a room, writing a letter to mum while everybody else is out and about having fun having forgotten all about his sad existance.
