Albert Einstein showed progress in mathematics and Latin, but he wasn’t good at other subjects, he didn’t worry about them at all. As the Nobel laureate sad : ” In this school the material was not studied, but mechanically memorized, which harmed the spirit of learning and creative thinking. Einstein didn’t only receive marks, but also argued with teachers. He did not even receive a maturity certificate and failed exams at the Higher Technical School in Zurich: Einstein brilliantly passed the mathematics, but the botanist and French let him down. He had to spend another year in school to get a certificate, after it he tried again to enroll in a technical school and was finally accepted. After he created theory of relativity, he also got the Nobel Prize in Physics, Einstein has a world fame and immortality in science.
Isaac Newton One of the "fathers" of classical physics, mathematics and astronomer Isaac Newton, his school years wasn’t easy at all for him. The boy, who was weak in health at first, wasn’t pleased student, although was really intelligent. Everything changed after a conflict with a classmate, when little Isaac was heavily beaten up. Newton did not want to forgive it and decided to prove that he is strong - not physically, but intellectually. He began to seriously study, intensively engage in mathematics and technology and quickly became one of the best students in the class, and a few years later, a brilliant scientist, without whom it is impossible to imagine physics as a holistic science.
Thomas Alva Edison "Brainless stupid" - such an emotional characteristics from their teachers more than once honored the future inventor. The teachers thought Edison was so incapable of learning that they even asked his mother to take the boy from school. And it even went to his advantage: little Thomas spent a lot of time in the library, and read his first scientific book at 9 years old. Already at this age, he became interested in chemistry and other natural sciences. Edison went to work early to have the money to carry out scientific experiments that interested him so much. Not having graduated from any educational institution, Edison managed to go down in history as an outstanding inventor who received more than 1000 patents in optics, electric lighting, telephony and other fields.
Karl Linney The famous Swedish naturalist has been fond of botany since childhood. Even when he was a child, his father, a great lover of flowers and gardening, suggested a separate bed in his domain. Little Karl was so fascinated by the plants that he grew but he neglected his homework and did not aspire to master the school program. Teachers noted: the boy is certainly capable, but he does not want and will not learn, and therefore his future is sad. Lynne was lucky: on his way he met a man who began to teach him independently, which allowed Karl to go to university. A talented scientist became famous not only as the creator of a unified system of classification of the plant and animal world. Linnae transformed the Celsius scale, his teacher: in addition, 100 degrees meant freezing point, and 0 - boiling point. Now everything is the opposite, and we owe this to the
