What's more likely to be going on here is nobody wanted to stand in the way of this kid with all the external pressure to keep pushing the narrative along. Nobody wanted to be the person holding everything up by insisting the submitted paper on Prison Inmate Rehabilitation Programs was very surface level and lacked deep reflection and thoughtfulness.

There's just no way a 9 year old can handle serious research papers or form complex arguments about social and global issues. Two things common in most university general education programs.

Can a 9 year old be good at something specific? Sure... but I'd put my money on this kid was pushed through for the narrative and not for the actual coursework.
