Elliott’s journey
Elliott resides in Minnesota with his parents. His parents said that the boy displayed remarkable language and math skills from the age of 3 years. They soon realised that the traditional education system is not fit for him.
His mother, Michelle Tanner said that Elliott was homeschooled and they tried to limit him to the regular curriculum. But, the boy ended up learning information quicker than his parents could teach him. He loved to spend his birthday money on books, instead of buying toys and games.
