Genius?
Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.
- Albert Einstein
The debate about whether Einstein had a learning disability or not has become a highly-researched, contentious issue among scholars in the last few years. Some contend that he was dyslexic, others offer that he had traits that would indicate Asperger's, others still claim that he suffered from test anxiety and poor memorization skills. Regardless, his genius cannot be disputed. Perhaps it was these factors that led him to make the statement above. The reality is that as educators, it is not our job to judge, it is our job to teach. Sometimes our students are fish trying to climb a tree, yet I see all of you every day trying to help them find their genius, rather than judging them, and for that, I thank you!
