Best Answer

Einstein was an independent thinker and hated the regimentation of the German school system. To Albert, schools were like barracks and teachers like military commanders.

When he was sixteen he renounced his citizenship in order to avoid joining the German army, and moved to Switzerland. Einstein sought enrollment at the renowned Zurich Polytechnic but did not pass the entrance exam as a result of his poor French. However, after a year of reading on his own, he passed the exam and spent four years studying math and physics at the Polytechnic ___ However, he later returned to Germany ... The key point is that as Nobel laureate and a scientist of international standing it was much, much easier for him to get permission to settle in the U.S. and get a job there than was the case for the vast majority of Jews.
