Einstein tried to be a high school teacher??

[i wish]

did you know that Einstein tried to become a high school teacher after he graduated college?  and then tried again four years later?  i was delighted to hear that such a genius valued teaching as well as being a scientist.  

[Russ]

really? I didnt know he actually finished! I remember reading somethig about how he failed math and sciences...

[Lil Me]

and the hair police were gonna go get him.  lol  

[i wish]

he left high school without a diploma.  but managed to enter and graduate from the Swiss Institute of technology.

[i wish]

he also loved america because he believed that creativity lives within freedom.  i'm his newest fan.

[Russ]

Really!

I never knew that.. interesting. That would have been a twist if the great Einstein would have taught HS and not gone on to do what he did.

I read the book Einsten's Dream's eeons ago and thought it was profound at the time.

 Of course, a dozen years later, I couldn't tell you anything about it.

I read about Einstein years ago as well... I cant remember anything really from the articles I read either.

[i wish]

he wanted to  be a high school teacher because his previous job at patent office was interferring with his research.  

[Lil Me]

So, i wish, what's your psreonal interest in Einstein reserach?  Just wondering...  

[i wish]

relativity and quantum mechanics.  actually, i'm more interested in how he chose to live his life.  his parents let him free after graduation.  he wanted to be a teacher and believed that freedom fosters creativity.  if his parents were controlling.  the world would not have known about bending of light, relativity, quantum,,  photons.

[Lil Me]

Interesting.  So society be damned, let your kids be creative?  

[Sportsdude]

can't be creative when the kids aren't taught anything in school just constantly tested on meaningless crap. (no child left behind - you spend half the year preparing for a test you don't teach them anything else)

  He never graduated from school, I think. I wonder what one would say if you were given the chance to see him in person?

  I'd probably say, "You should sue Star Trek for stealing your ideas."
