Too Smart For That School
Thomas Edison’s mother may have been the most brilliant mother in the world
which would explain the intelligence and tenacity of her son.
The first day of school a teacher sent him home with a note saying he could
never be educated.
He was eager and wanted to know what the note said.
With tears in her eyes, she said “Darling boy, you are too smart for that school.
They say they cannot teach you anything because you are so smart, so from
now on I shall teach you at home.”
Apparently she did.
