Welcome to the jungle, it gets worse here every day
Am I the only one that realizes that if I went back to 6 years old, I would be a child prodigy? Graduate high school by the age of 12 and study university courses that you already know the future of so you'd be a leader in the field. Even if you're not that bright, knowing generalities of what happens in the future is a huge advantage. I'd be studying computer technology at MIT in the early 80's, then making bank from the tech that I already know will succeed. You don't even have to create it, just work for Microsoft when it was a startup and get some shares. If not tech, then medicine, law, journalism, etc. Even your current trade would likely be highly beneficial if you know the future of it.

I dunno. I'm pretty stupid now, the combination of being pretty stupid and in a small, weak body (have we all forgotten how small and weak 6 yos are) i think i would probably not rise to be the world's top scholar as I would have to have one to two naps per day and so forth. I think I would probably not be the isekai protagonist who owns all the libs and gets the girl and becomes a Kid Billionaire. I would probably trip over a lot because my feet would be the wrong size and get bored in 1st grade.

If you currently have the knowledge to at least get a high school GED, 6 year old you would burn through primary and middle school. Even if high school slowed that progress, it would still be a very early graduation.

I mean yeah probably. And I want you to know I mean this completely seriously, but how do you go faster? Like i went to a very broke school in rural new mexico which probably informs the above but we all had the same pace and tests and whatnot whether we were getting A's or D's. Is it a thing at like nice schools were you as a 6 year old or your parents or what have you are just like "yeah we know this already lets have the third grade stuff instead" and then you just get to do third grade or sixth grade or whatever when you're 6?

When I was in 1st grade (6 years old), I finished my math workbook in the first few weeks of school so they moved me second grade. At the time, I wasn't mature enough to handle the move, so they put me back into first grade. This was at a rural school in southern Indiana, and anecdotal as hell, so your mileage may vary.

E: I thought it was like a puzzle book, so I just did all of them. When I got moved, I thought I had done something wrong.

Weird. When i did similar stuff with our reading stuff i just got told to turn it in normally and sit quietly while the others were catching up.

Long story short I would prefer to not be 6 again

sit down with your parents and talk to them about logarithms or the literary themes of War and Peace or whatever your specialty is* and you'll probably get somewhere

To prevent 9/11 you'd need to make sure the President got a specific warning beforehand. You'd have to make sure it was in writing, you'd have to mention something about hijacking planes, you'd have to make sure he had enough time to act on it--at least around 5 weeks--and you'd have to make sure to mention Bin Ladin by name.

Doing this likely means you would need to be someone the Bush Administration would trust. Which means, are you a self-loathing enough to attend Liberty University *and* graduate from it?

Agreed, my point is that knowledge plus whatever emotional/intellectual maturity the average goon has, getting through the educational system would be much easier with what you know now.

I was already an asocial asperger's kid who never talked to anyone so it would probably work out just fine for 14 year old me

if i went back in time, i would convince the 9/11 attackers that they were wrong, and that instead of the towers they should have taken out every bridge and tunnel that goes into Manhattan, thereby loving up the whole financial industry instead of killing a measly amount of people and causing themselves way more trouble

My favorite part, as a spectrum kid with speech issues especially back then would be convincing either a bookie/stockbroker/whatever or some sort of adult straw gambler that I was from the future and had various moonshots to bet on because of it without coming off as a stupid imagination land boy because im 6

Ehh, forget 9/11 and making millions, I could easily stop as 6 year old some really horrific poo poo that happened in my family just a year or two later so any amount of misery knowing the future in an adolescent body would be worth it in a heartbeat.
