Daniel Playne (
winner of the science and technology AIMES award 2007) I quote:
"Daniel (19) was home-schooled from 1993-2002. During this time he
sat the UNSW Young Australian Awards and consistently achieved
distinction or high distinction from 1998-2001, putting him in the
90th plus percentile for English, Mathematics, Science, Computing
and Writing. In 2002-2003 he sat his bursary via correspondence
school achieving an A pass with 338 points. Daniel has been a
student at Massey University since 2004 and, at the age of 19, is
currently in his postgraduate Honours year having recently completed
a Bachelor of Science degree with a grade of A+ for all 24 papers."
Jeffrey Brown "My mother, Cally, asked me to write an article about the new beginning I have made this year, in order to show to worried parents that an unschooled child, with no qualifications to speak of, can in every way equal one who has attended school for thirteen years."
