<p>There are many things that you can teach your son how to navigate on his own. Try it with minor things and give it a go. When my kids were registering I would look over things just to be sure they had done everything correctly. They handled things fine. Most kids who are ready for college level classes at an early age could do these things with little intervention. </p>
<p>I do remember a college professor giving one of my sons a hard time on the first day of class. I guess he had never had a young student before. He embarrassed my son openly. At the end of the class my son approached the prof and told him that he was admitted to the school because he was capable of doing the work and in fact he had already proved that he could handle it. The professor became indignant and asked my son to drop the class. I must admit that was the only time I actually took pleasure in calling a professor and letting him know what I thought of his inappropriate behavior. My son got a well deserved A in the class and I received a call from the prof that my son scored the highest grades in all of his sections that semester. He apoligized and admitted that he had pre conceived notions. He also ended up submitting a letter of rec for my son at MIT.</p>
