Famous Einstein Quotes

There was once a professor that sought
                                      Humankind that were untaught
                                            But decide to  make-do 
                                             He'd forgotten how to
                                       Remember what he was taught
 

                                               He decided to drive
                                        A pretty girl home and arrive
                                    Safely,  though they were kissing
                                              it was awfully boring
                                      At least he got her home alive

A student was asking his teacher in special ED a math question and her comeback was, just because I went to school doesn't mean I remember what they taught me. I was kind of shock at her come back but it's true you learn for the time you go to class then forget.
