Theory: it's a catch 22. They expect "gifted" kids and their parents to be the most resourceful and creative (least likely to suffer from budget cuts affecting lost services).

Therefore the simplest and cheapest, most practical solution- grade skipping and subject acceleration needlessly become artificially inflated high stakes decisions on behalf of the school side.
