Chemistry student at UNAM just turned 9 His courses include Solubility Equilibrium Principles
Mexico News Daily | Friday, August 14, 2015



Carlos was bored in primary school.


He’s only nine years old but he’s done with primary school: his courses of study these days include Solubility Equilibrium Principles and Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

Carlos Santamaría Díaz is the youngest student at the Chemistry School (FQ) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), having just celebrated his ninth birthday on June 29, and attends a chemistry certification course four hours daily, sitting in a classroom with chemists, researchers and undergraduate students.

The three years Carlos spent in primary school left him bored and and were marked by friction with his teachers. His father realized that Carlos’ “problem” was his interest in the sciences after he discovered his son studying throughout his vacations.

“A teacher in Toluca threatened to accuse us of child abuse because we were allegedly teaching him school subjects beyond his level,” said Fabián Santamaría. “The thing is, Carlos learns by himself, I don’t teach him.”

And to all parents who defend their children against "cookie cutter" education!

And thanks for posting this!
