I'm assuming every single parent here wants their child to enjoy childhood. Different kids demand different approaches to achieving that goal. For our child, radical acceleration has been the road to a happy childhood. It is weird to even entertain that anyone would consider it rushed as it feels totally the opposite of that.

I would not at all assume "the system" will take care of kids who are extreme outliers and need something different than the traditional path. Plenty of highly gifted kids don't get their needs met and many end up dropping out of high school.
