Gordon,

        If school for Einstein was like school for me, then 
possibly he intimidated his teachers- made them feel stupid, and 
inferior.  The retrobution for this of course is poor grades, no 
matter HOW well you actually do in the class.  Absolute power 
corrupts- and teachers have the absolute power over your grades.  
They issue the tests, check them, and assign a grade.  There is NO
accountability for teachers whos egos prevent them from being 
fair.

        It was not until college that I found the reverse of this 
trend.  Apparently, a college professor has more honor than a high 
school teacher- but they do show human characteristics such as 
envy, and fear.  Fear of the intelligent- blight of mankind.....sq
