Very, very few people could be expected to know college material before attending college. That statement strikes me as absurd.

Given our existing educational system, yes. Given something completely different, not at all. I had my kids reading Herodotus and factoring quadratics by the time they were seven. College calculus by twelve.

Wouldn't you agree that parents of your erudition and interest are very rare?
