Thomas Edison, the most innovative of them all, dropped out of FIRST GRADE when his mother disagreed with the way he was being treated by his teacher. She home schooled him. The rest is history.
Too often, college is the place where brain cells go to die, and I’m not just talking about the excessive drinking and drugging. Most professors don’t want to have students who think outside the professor’s box, so students soon learn to keep their thoughts to themselves if they want to pass the course. It’s shameful that too many of our universities are academic gulags.
“Thomas Edison, the most innovative of them all”
How could I have overlooked him??
But you got the message.
Love that “college is the place where brain cells go to die” line. College is okay for some, but it ain’t the only way.
