This is such a fraught topic.
On one hand: there are a significant number of parents who consider "acceleration" as one of the routes to an elite college. This leads to what I would call "acceleration by rote" - for example, learning the multiplication tables a year or two before your peers makes you stand out, but it's just memorization.
Another take: "acceleration" denotes getting ahead. At a certain point
