Should we let wunderkinds drop out of high school?

It’s one thing to say tech geniuses don’t need degrees. After all, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg all dropped out of college.

But now we’ve got David Karp, who doesn’t even have a high school diploma. Karp, 26, founded Tumblr, the online blogging forum, and sold it to Yahoo for US$1.1 billion. US high school students are roughly between the ages of 14 and 18.

Which raises the question: When is it OK for a wunderkind to drop out of school?
