Whiz kid wants a quiet life (6)

He once embarrassed his Chinese teacher by asking why some dinosaurs had feathers.

"The teacher didn't know the answer. I searched for it on the Internet on my own, afterward," Feng recalls.

"The Web satisfies my curiosity better than school."

Du Fang, Feng's favorite Chinese teacher during his primary school years, admits teachers are increasingly pressured to know more than their core subjects because students are exposed to a wide range of online information.

"If I fail to answer a question raised by my student, I will tell him or her that I'm not almighty," Du says. "As a teacher, I am here to guide them to distinguish between good and bad, and true from false, so they can make good use of online information."

Feng's father, Feng Yingang, agrees the Internet can't replace scholastic education.
