I often in my class introduce Einstein’s quotes and theories. One of my students made a statement that he thought Einstein was crazy. I thought for a second and asked the student what he knew about Quantum Physics. Obviously the student replied that he didn’t even know the terminology. I asked him how could you make a statement like he was crazy when you don’t even know what he is talking about. The quick response to the student had been prompted by me thinking about myself and my knowledge about teaching. I realized I was a babe at this teaching profession. The more I learn the more I realize how little I really know. Teaching sure is humbling.
This is one of my favorite quotes!
"Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought". Albert Szent-Gyorgi (Biochemist)1893-1986 (American)
I want to thank all the teachers at (NTI) for their patience. Garyb
There is this great billboard off of I75 in Macon showing the crazy looking face and distinguishable hair/mop of There is this great billboard off of I75 in Macon showing the crazy looking face and distinguishable hair / mop of Einstein, and the billboard reads, “As a student, he was no Einstein.” You comments made me reflect on that…you never know where this road will lead!

ReplyDeleteHi Gary,
ReplyDeleteI read once that Einstein was bi-polar. That certainly isn't crazy. Maybe he got all his stuff done when he was manic. I've also read that this world was not made for a genius. So it must have been really hard on him! Just some thoughts . . .Dr. J.
Ironically(speaking about Einstein) My quote of the week(posted in class) is from old man Einstein...it reads "Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value"
ReplyDelete...okay I know that doesn't fit with the conversation...so ignore it..LOL(just passing by reading blogs...don't mind me)
