When I was a kid (elementary school) I ended up in the remedial maths class. My parents were shocked because at home they were teaching me things far beyond what was taught at school.
I have no recollection of any of this, but apparently I was just a little shit and refused to answer questions at school because they were "too easy" and "boring".
Not sure what the moral of the story is, but consider the second order effects of accelerating your kids.

I don't think you were being a little shit. I think that's a perfectly reasonable reaction to being asked to jump through arbitrary hoops that were meaningless to you.
