We did it by accident last year with Jacob's science. Basically, he got way behind and had 2/3 of the year to finish in 1/3 of the time. He powered through, ended up ahead of the modified schedule and did really well.
I agree that foreign language wouldn't work this way. I think for a math strong student, it would work just fine, but not for a math struggler. (I finished all of my second grade math before November when I was in public school, b/c my teacher gave me an assignment box with all I had to do. I was in heaven!
)
I think it helps with transitions and how much they have to keep up with. My brain is one that functions well when I compartmentalize, so I definitely see the benefit!
