The closest thing to it that I know of, is that they'll allow children to take on the work of (and at times work alongside) older children if they've blown through the curriculum intended for their age group. This is largely irrelevant, though; "prepping for work" is still "prepping for work"... pushing them through it faster doesn't change that? "Hey buddy guess what? You could have graduated University and be working full time by 19 instead of 22! HOORAYYY! Think of all of those extra taxes you'll get to pay!"
This is an existential issue, I suppose, so I don't expect everyone to understand. I find the birth-school-work-retire-death life cycle to be empty, meaningless and depressing. I do understand that most people convince themselves that they're OK with it, though.
