I think that when you read stories online you're reading a subset of experiences, and the parents most likely to be posting are the parents of kids who've struggled in some way - it's the only reason I've posted for sure - I came or originally looking for help, and I've stayed around to help others. I know quote a few families of high-intellectual-ability kids in my own area who are having great experiences with school and/or aren't hugely concerned about meeting gifted needs, and thru aren't the families you'll find posting - they're for the
most part out enjoying life
I don't, however, necessarily agree that a student with a 132 FSIQ is going to necessarily easily find a school situation that works. The combination of motivation, personality, school resources, school mission, teachers personality, teaching and learning style - there are so any variables that go into any individual's education it's just impossible (jmo) to make blankets assumptions for what will or won't work for students of any ability.
