Story Of Laboratory of Edison
Edison did not go to school until she was eight eyers old because his family moved from one town to another , and because of his illness.He finally jioned a small school where all classes were held in one room .The teachers were a man called G.B.Engle and his wife.Most of the teaching consistedof giving the students things to lern by heart.Edison liked to ask’why’and get answer ,not just memorize the things the teacher taught him.It was not surprising therefore that he did not do well in this school.After three month in this school,Edison heard Englysay,”That Edison boy does not have agood mind .He cannot learn.”Edison as a quiet boy but this comment made him very angry .He took his hat and coat and went home.”I will never go back to that school,”he said.
