- kmm 15y agoSimilar: Einstein's report card for his seconday school examinations http://bobwise.tumblr.com/post/5894827109/albert-einsteins-report-card-from-his-secondary http://bobwise.tumblr.com/post/5894827109/albert-einsteins-r... For those who cannot read German, the subjects are German speech and literature - 5, French - 3, English - None, Italian - 5, History - 6, Geography - 4, Algebra - 6, Geometry (Planimetric trigonometry, stereometry and analytic geometry) - 6, Projective geometry - 6, Physics - 6, Chemistry - 5, Natural history - 5, Art drawing - 4, Technical drawing - 4. Points go from 1 to 6 Einstein was apparently an excellent student, at least in secondary school. Also, he got a lot more geometry and maths than I did in secondary school.
- kalid 15y agoAgreed. The whole "Einstein was bad a school" seems to be a myth based on a misinterpretation of the 1-6 system (apparently Germany and Switzerland had them reversed).
