I agree, but I do wish there was a better way for school to get out of the way when parents decide to do that. I moved to America when I was in middle school and had already learned to program from my brothers and was years ahead of my American peers in mathematics. I was placed in a slightly-less-behind "advanced" mathematics class, but I was required to keep submitting homework assignments for all the mathematics classes I was "skipping". I had more than double the busy-work and I still felt held back on the subject matter.
A better approach? Admit that the school was holding me back and allow me to pursue an alternate course of study with my family, without the burden of additional work for classes that aren't at my level. In a lot of places, doing that isn't nearly as easy as it should be.
