Question

what did Albert Einstein answered for his history teacher when he asked. "did the Prussians defeat the French at Waterloo?"​

Answer 1

The class was on. The History teacher asked Albert in what year had defeated the French at Waterloo. Albert said that he didn’t know the answer. The History teacher Mr. Braun asked why. Albert told that he might have forgotten. He asked Albert why he didn’t try to learn the dates. Albert told him that he didn’t see any point in earning dates. One could look up the dates in books. This irritated Mr. Braun. He attributed to Albert that he didn’t believe in education at all. He asked sarcastically what he meant by the Einstein theory of education. Albert told him that for him what mattered in education was ideas, an not acts. He was interested in learning why soldiers tried to kill others in war. He was not intereste in knowing how many of them were killed.
