1) agree with previous posters that it is up to you to educate before the child gets information/misinformation at school.

2) Depending on the situation- absolutely. We are very lucky to live in an area with an amazing private gifted school. It is expensive but is very worth it to us and many other families. My kids are learning so many skills they will need and getting such an amazing foundation that it is well worth the money to me.
