Can education ruin an intelligent person?

... and, to correct things: Einstein finished school and university. But his math teacher meant to say that he wouldn't make it. Why? Because as a twelve-year old Einstein was busy with solving geometrical problems while the teacher was trying to teach them algebra.

No school or university can ruin a 'good' student. You actually don't need these institutions at all to become educated. They're just good for the papers (certificates).

"School didn't affect me very much." (Robert Kirschner, Nobel Laureate for Physics).

The right kind of education generally helps to manifest the mental abilities in a person as he grows...its left to the person to use his training for or against the society.

You could get educated either in a school, from a private tutor, parents or by nature alone.

And who he/she takes their knowledge from that can make or break a person's intellect to a great degree. And sometimes all the education in the world may not avail certain individuals!

Well, I'm NOT from Qatar (I don't know anything about schools in Qatar). But, I disagree with the point because you can find many students who were enrolled in good schools and still act dumb.

That's what I'm talking about!

If they were smart enough to shun school, don't you think that they have realized the fact that there is no use of formal education?

Between, i guess that you must be too dumb to fail in school and at the same time follow the norms of formal education. :P

Just Kidding!

A bad school can ruin any person. Unfortunately there are too many good examples of bad schools in Qatar.

A ah, I dont know about Gates, he didnt drop out, but rather kicked out. But Einstein was definitely smart.

Anyways, these guys were smart enough to shun school, which I was not.

Bill Gates had dropped out from his college. Einstein was also a drop out. So you call them dumb people?

I am the finest specimen :-[ Education ruined me.

Before going to school, everyone used to call me smart, and had high hopes for me, after I brought home that pink progress report with 5 F's, suddenly the general view changed. Now nobody calls me smart :P
