Whiz kid wants a quiet life (7)

"My son still needs guidance to sift through information on the Internet and build his knowledge base. He is like a kung fu lover, who learns all kinds of martial arts moves but lacks the internal strength to master them," the father says.

"It would be great if the schoolteachers can guide my son."

Feng Shaoyi also admits that he has difficulties digesting the glut of online information.

"I will enjoy school's lessons better if the teachers can discuss hot issues related to the subject and tell us what materials we can refer to better understand these issues," the boy says.

"But teachers just regurgitate textbooks' texts."

Feng says some textbooks are outdated. For example, he owned his first cell phone at 3 and is able to download pictures with smartphones. But his computer science textbook covers basics like search engine use.
