"School failed me, and I failed the school. It bored me. the teachers behaved like Feldwebel ( sergeants). I wanted to learn what I wanted to know, but the wanted me to learn for the exam. What I hated most was the competitive system there, and especially sports. Because of this, I wasn't worth anything, and several times they suggested I leave. This was a Catholic School in Munich. I felt that my thirst for knowledge was being strangled by my teachers; grades were their only measurement. How can a teacher understand youth with such a system? From the age of twelve I began to suspect authority and distrust teachers." - Albert Einstein
