A fascinating case of Surya Joshi

Surya is nine, studies in class four, and is the first boy among his fellow students. He has always been first since pre-primary. It had only been a week since his first encounter with the XO laptop, but his skill and cleverness helped him get the idea of using the tool very quickly. It was natural for students to grasp the knowledge at their own pace; some were able to get it soon, and for others, it took some time. In addition to being good at using his new educational tool, Surya was also equally motivated towards extracurricular activities, such as music, games, etc. In my observation, other students were quite passive in comparison to his activeness and interest in learning new things.
