Basically, they say, HG+ kids tend to not do well in public school. So, the reader of such a comment is left to wonder, "if my kid is doing well in public school, then perhaps he isn't HG+?"
And schools (public and private) will lead you to believe that if your child is not doing well in school, he isn't HG+.
I would say from my own experience and what I've seen in my DS- if you have a child who is doing well in public school, perhaps he/she has learned what ND looks like and replicates it well!
Not all kids can or will be able to make that work either emotionally or socially. And certainly not for a long period of time. For me personally, I realized that in 7th grade it wasn't cool to be smart and decided to start skipping a certain number of math problems on the test. I could get a 93%, still not screw up my grades and yet not be so "perfect".
