A thing that frustrated me is that you have to follow the program designed for the average kid.
When I was young, I was particularly talented in science and jumped two classes as a result.
However I do not think that my situation was ideal, I was bullied alot more than other kids because I was younger. And the level in science was still weak for myself.
A better system may be to teach earlier classes by level instead of forcing everybody to have the same level in all subjects.
That would have two side effects. First, you would be able at a younger age to show more interest in a particular subject and progress more quickly. Then it would solve the problem of the classes to follow the speed of the slowest.
(sorry for my English, it is not my first language and, obviously I always sucked at any non-science subject.
