"Patrick Pringle's 'Albert Einstein at school' exposes the hollowness of school education in Germany", - Explain and justify

Dear student 

When Albert Einstein was asked to answer a question on history, he was unable to do so. This led to him being expelled, saying that he was disturbing class. This clearly shows how short-sighted the teachers were, since Albert turned out to be a genius. This shows the hollowness of the old German education system because; they believed in memorising facts, rather than learning important things like art, music and science. They did not see Albert's ability in Mathematics because of their own narrow view of what they thought education was. Their method sucked the fun out of education, and made it dreary for all students, as they failed to realise that what they were doing could not be termed as education, since it was mere memorisation.

Education in Germany school at the time of Einstein was very meaningless.. the teachers used to be very strict... and they teach the student only whats there in the book.. the childrens doesn't get any outer idea.. they only copy paste the fact in the book.. But Einstein was unique he believes in Ideas not the internal knowledge in the book.. So he was against the school..

Thank you :)
