I think there are a lot of good points being made here re: nature vs. nurture and not allowing children to have a childhood. As long as we agree that education should be a part of childhood, a good middle ground would be normalizing "skipping grades." It was definitely beneficial for me from a life and academic standpoint, the only negatives were social ostracism which decreased as I got older. I think this ostracism from peers would decrease if it was considered normal to skip.
