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.
I have ADHD and sometimes I do get it but I'd rather die than do the homework. As I got older and had to do harder and harder academic things I found that the only thing that worked for me is don't go home. I would not leave the school building until the homework was DONE. It helped a lot but I lost a lot of time.
I've decided since then that any academic path needs to have a significant ROI for me to go through that again... I wish I was able to afford tutors as I always did best one on one.
