People shouldn't be held back because the system is geared towards an average. And honestly, the entire idea of years and fixed time should probably be abolished in favor of educational tracks and modules where some people will naturally finish sooner than others. Not that we can ever expect a system benefiting students to happen so long as powerful teachers unions exist and put the good of teachers far above students. (And, of course, equality-obsessed leftists dislike the idea of kids being able to get ahead.)

It doesn't really help them, though. Kids who are able to rush through those grades are going to be so far above their peers that they're unlikely to find much camaraderie. And while a lot of his success is probably the result of drive, intelligence likely plays a role as well.

And then the kid gets the shit kicked out of him for saying something he shouldn't because he didn't take the time to grow up first and everybody at that point SHOULD be calling him a fucking fool for not doing exactly that.
