Was listening to a discourse on learning on the radio. There was a case of a set of indian students whose age grade was 8-10 years who were made to study a physics course on the computer without the guidance of a teacher and after some setbacks, this pupils began to hold discussion groups where topics bordering on Quantum Physics was being tackled!!

What made these kids so special was they were all from the poverty stricken areas! Learning, I've come to know began while we were still foetuses in our mommy's womb. Otherwise how do you explain why babies are quick to understand language and know music than an adult?
Just curious to know.
