Bearing in mind how 'homeschooling' is defined, the chances are Fefferman isn't a product of homeschooling, but rather [[radical acceleration]]. Radical accelerates is the term used to describe gifted students who jump from junior high to college education, bypassing the high school years. The case study "From Eighth Grade to Selective College in One Jump: Case Studies in Radical Acceleration."<ref>http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/custom/portlets/recordDetails/detailmini.jsp?_nfpb=true&_&ERICExtSearch_SearchValue_0=ED061679&ERICExtSearch_SearchType_0=no&accno=ED061679</ref> used both Fefferman and [[Norbert Weiner]] as examples.
Although it's not conclusive, the implication is that both were within the formal schooling system and were rapidly accelerated through it. [[User:Welshman|Welshman]] 06:56, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
