My point is that having to act older and missing out on adolescence has nothing to do with academic acceleration. If you are 15, spending your schools time going to an educational Institution, it doesn’t matter what the level of the material is. The only reason you where in a situation where you felt the need to act older and felt you missed you adolescence was because academic acceleration isn’t accepted, so kids who do well end up being put into the social context of much older students in order to get education at an appropriate level. Think of it this way, when adults go and take primary Spanish because they want to learn the language late in life, we don’t put them together with Spanish preschoolers, and why would we? Yet it seems kids being a bit brighter is perceived as such an extreme oddity in our society that the only way to get access to college level education is to literally go to college. Doesn’t that just seem odd to you, even having gone through it?
