well. only about two or three have dropped out over the whole history of the program...and thats usually in the first month or so after being accepted. Not many drop out though, because the testing is really tuff if you want to get into this program, and they usually find students who are capable of coming young.
and also, with the "lost childhood" thing. its not a lost childhood. we have our own rooms in the college. the rooms contain fully equipped kitchens, sofa, game room, computer room, arcade room, study room, library, TV, and everything else like that. we dont lose our childhood. we just, have a unique childhood. we have the same fun, we just...different kind of fun. normal students go to proms and to the mall, we spend all day lounging around at schoo..or going to the mall there to. its not really a lost childhood though. we are weith people our own age...
its basically been found out by the program that unless you are a student in this program, or a parent of one, people would think that its a lost childhood, but i am much happier (and so are the other students) here, than we every were in normal schoo.
