obviously genes are a factor here and having parents who took an interest in her education but to sum it up
>homeschooled
>did khan academy math classes at her own pace
>specialized and hyperfocused on her interest without retarded peers slowing her down
>now a prodigy in her field
not everyone is going to get a phd but everyone would benefit from being able to specialize early in their own particular interests with guidance from their parents
