no5no5,
If someone tells their story to a newspaper, their story is no longer private. In fact, to the extent that they tell their story to a newspaper, their story is thereafter public, and is available to be used in the public debate, both pro and con.
The Manzar siblings show what is possible if you have certain available resources and are able to function outside of the restrictions that generally govern public education.
The question becomes this: If the Manzar siblings can achieve their stunning academic accomplishments through homeschooling, what then is possible through public education? As it is, public high schools too often fail to challenge the potentials of their very brightest students. Can this problem be solved? I think so, and NAPS is my proposed solution.
If you have a better solution, please offer it for review.

They told their story to their school's daily newspaper, but that doesn't make it ethically correct for you to use it for your own ends.
Even if there were a hundred PG students who wanted to attend your school, I think you would find that each one would have
very different needs. These needs can be easily met through homeschooling, but it is very hard to serve the needs of such a diverse group in a classroom. I don't think it is fair to assume that if something can be accomplished through homeschooling it must therefore be possible to do even better through the public schools.
