I am a huge fan of allowing kids to "work ahead". I had several classes like that growing up and they were all that kept me from being bored.
Or they could teach it in place of all the art and music classes they keep kicking out of schools thanks to budget cuts (reason #325,231,768 that my children are in a private school...)
