He's not a typical 10 year old.
He's never gotten a grade below an A. He received a rating of 99 on the Iowa aptitude test 5 years in a row, which means he has scored higher than 99% of all kids his age in the nation.

He types reports for school, he researches topics, he studies things most kids his age can't spell. He's mostly interested in astrophysics and construction geometry.
When he was 5 or 6 he asked me to help him create a 3D map of all the known galaxies. That didn't get very far.
He was 8 when he decided he was going to cal Tech.
