____________________________________________________________

→ Albert Einstein at school is an extract from "The Young Einstein" that's a very famous biography by "Patrick Pringle" . The story deals with the circumstances that lead to Albert 's expulsion from a German school .

→ Well , after reading the lesson : readers are forced to question the present day education system. Talking of the present day education system , saying that it's just about cramming and passing exams won't be wrong ! In the present scenario , Learning or I better say , cramming and being able to reproduce that in exams - secure good marks is all that we see about education .

→ "Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world" - I think we've all heard this famous saying. So , can we change anything just by cramming ? Nah! It's nothing more than killing the basic idea of education . Education isn't just limited to memorizing facts . It's all about knowing the world around us .

→ Relating that to the lesson , Albert had a much wider idea 'bout education whereas for his history teacher Mr. Braun it was just about learning the historical facts and figures. Sir Albert Einstein gives a beautiful picture of true education . Education should focus more on "Why" rather than "When" and "Where" ! It needs a more rational and scientific approach to deal with the numerous phenomena occurring around us every second !

→_Our education system needs to be reformed to a great extent . The very first flaw is that it focuses entirely on theoretical learning and memorizing. Practical learning isn't given much importance here! So , that thing needs to be removed. Children should be given practical know-how of what they're studying - that would make it obviously more effective. Another thing as we also see in the lesson is how school kills the creativity of a child . Albert wanted to learn Science but there was not much lessons given at school. Well , as per me school is a place where creative minds of children need to be explored ! They shouldn't be curbed that way. At last , each child has his own interest and weakness . Like Sir Einstein wasn't so good at History but he performed amazingly well at Mathematics . So , it could be great if students weren't judged on the basis of their marks !

→ These are my views regarding the reforms required in the educational system !

Albert Einstein at School’ is an extract from The Young
Einstein, written by Patrick Pringle. In this extract he describes the
circumstances which led to Albert’s expulsion from a German school. Albert did
not like the school since he had been admitted to it. He didn’t like the
orthodox and traditional teaching methodology at the school. He had adjustment
problems, especially with the History teacher, Mr. Braun. One day he had an
argument with him concerning the Franco-Prussian war. The teacher complained to
the headmaster that Albert did not let him teach in the class. On the contrary,
Mr. Koch, Albert’s math teacher considered him a genius.

Albert was equally disappointed and unhappy with his temporary
lodging. His landlady was noisy and quarrelsome. Albert wanted to go back to
Milan, in Italy. He discussed his problem with Yuri, his friend and asked him if
he knew a doctor who could give him medical certificate for nervous breakdown. He
wanted to use the certificate to get a long leave from the school. Yuri found
him a doctor, Ernest Weil who easily issued him the certificate. Before going
to the Headmaster’s office, Albert got a commendation letter from Mr. Koch.
However, Albert could not use his medical certificate. As soon as he reached the school, he was called to the headmaster’s office where he was asked to leave the school on his own accord otherwise he would be expelled. When Albert asked his fault, he was charged of disturbing Mr. Braun. Without much argument, Albert willingly left the school, as this is what he wanted.
