CFK -I didn't take it personally - my kid isn't even in school yet! Except i just realized my post omitted the very important concern you pointed out and thus the clarification of what was recommended to us.
That reminds me - Miraca Gross's book does specifically look at the education of several HG kids and might be a useful read for anyone looking at the variety of options, and which worked/didn't work for these kids. The latest edition is worth it for the updates on where these kids are now. Hopefully you can get it from a library - little pricey on amazon! nice resource.
