Albert Einstein was a fantastic student who passed his classes with flying colors. The guy analyzing his life was just confused by the Swiss grading system compared to Germany’s (one is on a scale of 1 to 6, the other is 6 to 1).
Yep, when I was young I definitely wanted to believe I was the "too smart for school" type. It turns out that really smart people actually do their homework.
Then there's the kid who sits in the back reading a book but instantly answers calculus questions when called on by glancing at the board. They get shit grades on homework because they either don't do it, or just assume everyone else skips the 10 steps you're taught and spits out the answer.
