1880, Einstein's family came to Munich, Germany, where they spent their middle school days. /kloc-at the age of 0/0, Einstein entered Lutibord Middle School in Munich. He fell in love with mathematics and began to teach himself advanced mathematics. Soon, the math teacher was no longer his opponent, and he was often asked by Xiao Ai. Once, the math teacher publicly said to him, "I will be very happy without you as a student in my class." Little love said in a panic, "I didn't do anything wrong to be sorry for the teacher!" " ""But your questions often make me uneasy. "In addition to his interest in mathematics, Einstein didn't leave a good impression at Lutibord Middle School. He is not interested in those rote lessons, and his grades are poor. Teachers consider him "withdrawn and mentally retarded" and accuse him of "undisciplined, daydreaming". Father Herman once asked the dean of the school what his son should do in the future. The director replied bluntly, "It doesn't matter what he does. Your son will accomplish nothing. Einstein later lashed out at this rigid and arbitrary educational method: "Sometimes, people simply regard the school as a tool and rely on it to impart a lot of knowledge to the growing generation. But this view is wrong. Knowledge is dead, but schools should serve the living. The goal of schools should be to cultivate individuals with independent actions and independent thinking.

A few years later, Einstein couldn't stand living in Lutipude any longer, and he decided to leave here. But dropping out of school will prevent him from getting a high school diploma. Xiao Ai played a "conspiracy": he asked his math teacher to give him a certificate to prove that his math has reached the university level. The math teacher was eager for him to leave school early, so he readily agreed to his request. He got a sick note from a familiar doctor, which proved that he was neurasthenia and needed to go home and rest. But before Xiao Ai applied for early graduation, the dean informed him to "drop out". Einstein asked, "Sir, what mistake did I make?" "The atmosphere in the class is broken by you. You go! "

In this way, in 1895, Einstein was ordered to drop out of school by the dean who decided that he had "accomplished nothing". Einstein, 16 years old, came to Milan, Italy with his father. Xiao Ai couldn't find a suitable German school in Milan because he was too old and didn't have a high school diploma. At the suggestion of his father, Einstein came to Zurich, Switzerland, and applied for the Federal Institute of Technology. However, there are political history and literary history in the examination subjects, which obviously cannot meet the requirements for Xiao Ai, who is not good at memory. But the headmaster appreciated his extraordinary math ability and suggested that he go to the state middle school in Arau Town for another year. This suggestion is of great significance to Einstein's life, because Alau State Middle School preached the ideas of pest Lozzi, a Swiss educator, on democracy and humanitarian education, and advocated that students should be responsible for themselves. Teachers' responsibility is to show students the charm of knowledge and science, ignite their curiosity, stimulate their thirst for knowledge and let their intelligence develop freely. In this school, Einstein gradually became optimistic and confident, and his thirst for knowledge reached an unprecedented level. Here, Einstein made a decisive plan for his life for the first time. In his article entitled "My Future Plan", he showed unique confidence:

"Happy people are too satisfied with the status quo to think about the future. On the other hand, young people like to make some bold plans. If I am lucky enough to pass the exam, I will study at the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, Switzerland. I will stay there for 4 years, studying math and physics. I imagine myself as a teacher in these natural science departments, and I choose the theoretical part of natural science. People always like to do what they are capable of doing. More importantly, the scientific profession has a certain independence, which I love very much. "

The following year, Einstein was admitted to Swiss Federal Institute of Technology and began to explore the mysteries of physics.

Later, Einstein wrote in a letter to a colleague: "When I asked myself why I discovered the theory of relativity instead of others, I thought it might be because I was a mentally retarded child in my childhood. The average person's understanding of time and space has been completed in childhood. As an adult, time and space are no longer considered. Only when I am an adult will I seriously consider the problem of time and space. Adults must of course think deeper and more mature when they are young. "

Some people think that a genius like Einstein will take hundreds of years to appear, but I don't think so. As a matter of fact, Einstein developed slower than ordinary children when he was a child, and he could not speak at the age of four or five. Xiao Ai's parents were very worried and called a doctor for him, but the physical examination results were all normal. Judging from Einstein's middle school days described above, different educational environments and methods have a great influence on him. In a person's life, middle school is the most honest time, without the shackles of preconceived ideas. It was an era when people dared to ask questions about knowledge and imagination. In a sense, it was the state middle school in Arau, Switzerland that made Einstein. This enabled him to tirelessly think and study the relationship between time and space. Even though his family was poor, he had to work as a clerk in the Berne Patent Office. Finally, five papers that later shocked the world were published in 1905.
