This has been an interesting thread!

We're facing these choices right now with our 13 year old. We've skipped her to 9th for this year, so she's planning to graduate at 16. She could skip again, but I really don't want her to, for all the reasons people have already stated.

We're still not sure what to do, or what we will or won't allow at that point. It's good to know that we're not alone!
