Excessive acceleration can be an issue for students. Being in a class with only people much older than you can be very challenging. Accelerating 1 or 2 years ahead (over the entirety of schooling) of the rest of the students is probably better than what enrichment can do. However, accelerating 5 years is probably worse than accelerating 2 years and doing a lot of enrichment.
Additionally, I think that jumping past a grade and succeeding in the higher one is rather difficult unless you are very gifted. Enrichment can make the eventual acceleration easier.
