<p>I personally don’t see any point in accelerating my kids. Unless the school system sucks, or their peer group is a bunch of skanked-out druggies, I’d just as well let them develop at a comfortable rate with their friends, so they don’t become social anomalies for the sake of having myself feel vicarious life achievement at cost to my kid; i.e., a 12 year old in the midst of 19 and 21 year olds. Really? Unless you can find a college where all the kids are about the same 12 to 13 year old age group.</p>
<p>And enjoy those stirrings of puberty while in the middle of junior year of college.</p>
