Albert Einstein at School
Describe the meeting between Albert and the head teacher.
Or
Describe how the head teacher made it easy for Albert to leave school.
Albert got a medical certificate from Dr. Ernest Weil. Dr. Weil certified that he had a nervous breakdown and must stay away from school. Albert didn’t have to show this certificate. The next day the head teacher called Albert to his office. He told Albert that his work was terrible. So he was not prepared to have him in the school. Albert asked if he thought he was to be expelled. The head teacher told him that if he left the school of his own accord, the question would not arise. Albert asked what crime he had committed. The head teacher told him that the teacher couldn’t teach the class when he was in it. He had become a nuisance for others. The pupils couldn’t learn when he was present in the class. Albert wanted to tell the head teacher what he thought of him and the school. But he didn’t say anything. The head teacher asked him to close the door behind him. But Albert didn’t do so. Nor did he have the last look at his school. He only met Yuri.
