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 clint
