I only wish this study was available to my school and, especially my mother and stepfather who declined my acceleration opportunities in the 50s (without telling me until I was working). I ended up dropping out of undergraduate work, decades of psychotherapy and a failed marriage.
In secondary school I had read through the textbooks by October and had to sustain classroom boredom the remainder of the year. Had no work habits (not needed in high school), which left me totally at sea in university where just about all my classmates had accelerated.
