Philip that is one lovely story.

Let me as a teacher, theorize about your son and his learning, and don;t be afraid to counter what I say.

When you picked up your son, he was two. He was probably neglected over those two years. The amount of learning that takes place form birth to two years is just astonishing.

Having read your story, and reading his strengths, I suspect, in the right setting, he would have gone on to do great things.

Having said that, I'm talking formal learning.

He's already ahead of me in reading the world.

I can tell you are immensely proud of your boy. Well done.
