I did purposefully exclude High School from that list since that's a good period to start independent research. If you have an issue with the curriculum being taught that's an issue you should take up with your school board - not try and monkey patch by using online learning as a solution. Elementary and middle school expectations are usually focused on learning the way to learn since that's where the brain is at.

I for one am extremely glad that you in particular, and others of a similar mindset, had nothing at all to do with my pre-high-school education. It is truly unfortunate that not everyone else can say the same.
The right time to start "independent research" is approximately from birth. We should be overjoyed that any child is curious and eager to learn. Standing in their way by limiting access to educational resources based on arbitrary ideas of "age-appropriate materials" is absolutely a crime.
