Why A Grade Students Work for C Grade Students

School is a great experience for some children. For others, school is the worst experience of their lives.
Every child has a genius. Unfortunately, their genius may not be recognized by the educational system. Their genius may even be crushed.
Thomas Edison, one of the great geniuses of modern times, was labeled “addled” by his first teacher. Addled means “mixed up or confused.” He never finished school, and instead became an inventor and an entrepreneur.
The company he founded, known today as General Electric, creates products that have changed the world. A few of Edison’s early projects were the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the electric light bulb.
Albert Einstein also failed to impress his teachers. From elementary school through college, his teachers thought he was lazy, sloppy, and insubordinate.
Most of his teachers said, “He will not amount to anything.” Yet Einstein became one of the most influential scientists in history.
