In our elementary school subj. accel. is a big deal because of the scheduling. No two consecutive grades do math or language arts at the same time, so it affects all subjects, not just the subject you want acceleration in. At least with a full skip, you don't get lots of weird schedule problems that are hard to resolve with the staff they have.
