While I am not a fan of nor am advocating for "common core" standards and testing in the US, however... The results of those tests clearly show that what we expect students to be able to accomplish is already way more than what they can accomplish (given current teaching tools and practices). For example, at the moment (2019 results) only about 35% of students are "proficient" in math. Reading is the same. It seems unlikely that any attempt to compress or accelerate education is practical given what we know/practice today.
