I guess people perpetuate it to subconsciously console themselves for their shitty grades.
But no, he was a good student as a kid.
Nobody thought he was dumb.
Can you prove he wasn't thought to be stupid as a child at one point by some of his teachers
because 90% of the things I've read about him mentioned this
I would imagine, yeah. It makes for good reading.
Lagggggggg
Most history classes teach Howard Zinn.
Doesn't make Howard Zinn correct.
Yet most people believe what Howard Zinn said.
And a lot of academia regard him as correct simply because it's chic.
I mean you might be correct
I know they attempted this with alan turing
portraying him as some autistic savant
It's fashionable to do so.
and it wasn't true
He was quite social and well liked
I just want to see the source you have refuting the common story
because with Turing the difference is 90% of things you read don't mention him as some autistic fuck but rather a well liked and social individual
with Einstein it's the opposite
Like you could read a cursory biography of his early life. He had exceptional grades and was an autodidact.
Find it anywhere basically.
But you won't find claims that his teachers thought he was an idiot anywhere credible.
long tangent
I'll trust you since it does sound fishy
and I know for alan turing this was attempted but failed to gain traction
Are you dumb he literally got expelled for his behaviour
He wouldve been sent there for that
You're asking me to prove a negative rather than a positive, that something is untrue. You could just read a biography to disprove it yourself.
Nowadays they give you IEP (special ed) for getting in too many fights
Not necessarily grades
So yeah it's not hard to get sent to special ed
you can get an IEP for not doing homework
I've seen it happen to my friends
I was never talking about grades
What was he expelled for?
Getting him into that
Behaviour
What behavior?
You get expelled for specific incidents usually.
What else would you get expelled for
You don't do homework and the teachers try to get you diagnosed for ADHD or autism (minnesota public schools, multiple people, friends, my sibling)
