I was around some people who did this growing up. In outlier cases like this it tends to get extremely obvious to anyone nearby, and then usually the onus is on the parents to push this process forward, keeping in mind what is best for the student holistically rather than solely educationally. Of course other situations are not as clear and the judgement call aspect becomes more pronounced, but at the same time the potential downsides are usually much smaller, i.e. skipping one grade is nowhere near the same thing as skipping three.

this is someone who at the age 10 could have gone to college. That's how smart he is. One in 50 million IQ. I don't think parents are that involved, imho. This is the digital age. All you need in is an internet connection to learn the same material as everyone else has access to. This kid as a 10 year could have self-taught himself calculus online. if a 10-year old shows up to school knowing as much as a 20-year-old, then grades will be skipped..lots of them.
