Well Hung ...
Maybe he’s related to Wun Long Dong.
Come back when you have five Phds. :)
In the Netflix series “inspired by” this event, Clovis Hung will be black.
Five associate degrees by age 12? Yikes. I was still figuring out how to do long division at that age!
I am very much impressed with this kid, but my impression is the Mom is pushing to make all this happen for more bragging rights. It’s fine that he’s into advanced courses, but school is about more than grades, it allows one to learn about getting along with other kinds of people, or learning to manage time efficiently.
In addition, what does this boy now have to look forward to? Is Mom picturing another Doogie Howser M.D. type prodigy in a lab coat, independently treating patients? Part of what makes childhood precious and joyous would be having fun and trying things out at your leisure. Seems like he is not allowed much downtime with
Sargeant Mom looking at her stopwatch all the time.
I wonder if this kid is a child of immigrants. I’ve taught physics to Asian kids whose parents were immigrants. Every one of them was an excellent student.
I’ve also taught later-generation Asian students. That excellence was slipping away. I guess America was starting to ruin them.
Job opening on Criminal Minds Evolution show:
No longer on show:
Dr. Spencer Reid is a fictional character on the CBS crime drama Criminal Minds, portrayed by Matthew Gray Gubler. Reid is a genius with an IQ of 187 and can read 20,000 words per minute with an eidetic memory. He is the youngest member of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit (BAU), has three BAs and three PhDs (in Mathematics, Chemistry and Engineering), and specializes in statistics and geographic profiling.
Or if Scorpion is revived:
Ralph Dineen.
A child who goes to Caltech as well as 6th grade elementary school.
He has an IQ of 200.
To be clear Fullerton College is a juco. Still quite an achievement. Well done Hung! But... Clovis?! Really?!
Or Won Hung Lo? Or Cum Ofsum Yungai?
Or that Asian flight crew of Ho Lee Fuk, Wi Tu Lo, and Sum Ting Wong?!
okay, big deal. Is he woke????
pffft, slacker. Doogie Howser...
Most of the really good people I know who have a PhD realize that the PhD was not worth the effort and would have been better off starting gainful employment with a master's degree. But at least they/we were smart enough to learn that. When we hear of someone with two PhDs we know that that idiot was too stupid to learn after the first one. Any more and you should be committed to a lunatic asylum.
Hint - a PhD is an official certification that you have proven you can do independent research. A second certification is unnecessary. Want to go research something else - crack the books, go to a research library and start learning and doing.
Without the word "social" in them.

Homeschooled huh should have put him in a gov’t school where could learn gang banging or trannyism
