What?[edit]

"Sharp was born in London and raised in Devon, England by his mother, a teacher, and his father, who worked in real estate.[5][6] He has a sister, Nicole.[7] Sharp's family traveled around the U.S. until Alex reached the age of seven. Later, the family ventured throughout Europe. Sharp's mother homeschooled him with both rigorous and unorthodox lessons. He left England at 18, as he felt claustrophobic in the schooling system there, admitting that making the transition to a more traditional school environment was difficult"

So he lived in Devon and travelled around the USA and Europe with his family ????? Which?
Whilst this was happening he was homeschooled .... which eventually was classed as as "school system????" that he found claustrophobic???

I eliminated the close paraphrasing in this description and edited it per the sources. Does it read better now? Yoninah (talk) 21:04, 29 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it does - I think you went above and beyond here. I'm not sure anyone had read the text and it was self contradictory. Wiki can make mistakes but .... anyway ... well done @Yoninah: Victuallers (talk) 10:04, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
