Thomas Edison
"When Thomas Edison was seven, after 12 weeks in a one-room schoolhouse with 39 other students of all ages, Tom's overworked and short tempered teacher lost his patience with the child's persistent questioning and relatively self centered behavior. He also noted that Tom's head was "slightly larger than average," and made no secret of his belief that the youngster's might be "addled" or scrambled...when his beloved mother - the person whom Edison said "was the making of me because she was the only person who truly understood me... was so true to me and sure of me and someone to live for that I must not disappoint"- became aware of the situation, she promptly withdrew him from school and began to "home-teach" him."
