Notes About The Poem

Based on a Quote by Albert Einstein:
"Education is what remains after
one has forgotten everything
he learned in school."


 

Einstein - School of Hard Knocks

We all went to school in the past- Remember what we learned when asked. Yet, Einstein's reply Kiss knowledge goodbye We're smarter with skills we've amassed!
