It's not that hard to plan what work an accelerated child gets; but it is very hard to plan the actual delivery of instruction and feedback mechanisms. Who will instruct the accelerated child? When? What will that child be doing while the rest of the class gets their instruction? Who will give the accelerated child on-the-spot feedback about his unique work?

Ultimately, you need staff to do this properly. It costs money. I think it should be creatively solveable, but it's hard to do well.
