    The moment of excitement in one’s hometown and the sensationalist reporting aside, we can’t help feeling sad that a teen with that level of talent evidently wasn’t given the support and encouragement by Oxfordshire’s education system necessary to put it to better use.

    What a weird conclusion for the author to draw

      Dunno why you’re getting so many downvotes… Even if someone disagrees, it’s a pretty reasonable thing to say.

      Plus IMO it is kind of a non sequitur to say “if only the schools were better,” as though his motivations could have been satisfied with better homework assignments, lol.
