Having skipped a year of school at 15, yes skipping several years of school could help. (I was then stuck for another year twiddling my thumbs as I couldn't skip 2 years in the UK but had already mastered the material) Imo, there is way too much no child left behind. But that's referring to the UK education system where you can't proceed without ticking all the boxes at each step. (To be clear I don't blame the teachers, most of that nonsense comes from council level interventions and management) The national system does a very good job of completely failing those at the top and bottom of the grading system the worst.
