The Education of Thomas Edison

January 21st, 2009 | Categories: Education

Thomas Edison, the great inventor of the electric lightbulb as well as the phonograph, did not take well to “official” schooling. His mind often wandered, and his teacher was overheard calling him “addled” (confused).

To his mother’s credit, Mrs. Edison took charge and removed him from that situation. Thomas Edison noted that “My mother was the making of me. She was so true, so sure of me; and I felt I had something to live for, someone I must not disappoint”. She removed him from school and began homeschooling him.

Where would Thomas Edison, and the world which so greatly benefited from his invention, be if Mrs. Edison didn’t take such concern for her son and pull him out of a situation that was clearly not good. And where would we all be if such a act were illegal?

    Уметь слушать тишину – значит быть способным услышать бесконечность, как говорил Моцарт, на вашем сайте тишину не послушаешь, но много интересного при этом подчерпнуть можно – за что и спасибо большое, удачного вебмастеринга :)
