  1. First-class solution for a top maths wizard - rather than go to university at 13, Stephen Brooks chose the OU.

    Story about a prodigy who obtained "A" grade in A-level Maths at age 13, and decided to stay at his secondary school while taking university-level mathematics courses at Open University. A snippet:
    • Stephen says: "I had heard a lot about people who went to university at an early age only to have things go badly wrong for them on the social side of things. I didn't want to do that, but it would have been very difficult for my school to support me doing university-standard maths. The Open University was the ideal solution.

    I remember that the first habit of successful folks (as listed in Covey's famous book) was that of being proactive. It would appear that this young fellow was developing this habit :)

    I hope that other people learn from his example and utilize DL this way, so that they will see the benefits.
    Thanks for sharing this story
