I think sometimes adults idealize things, or maybe they just try to forget. Worrying that your kid might not like school if he skips is kind of forgetting what school is like for most everybody, by my reckoning.

It's pretty normal to not like high school, or school at any level, at least very very big parts of it. The worry that your kid might find it in many ways unpleasant is pretty much guaranteed to pan out whether you skip him some grades or not.
