No, Thomas Edison was largely self-taught and did not receive extensive formal schooling. He only had three months of formal education, as he left school at a young age due to his teacher's belief that he was difficult to teach. Edison's genius was more a result of his passion for learning and experimentation, as well as his determination and relentless work ethic.

Why is home schooling conducted?

There are a number of reasons for home-schooling. In fact, it is a style of education that goes back hundreds of years. In the 1600s and 1700s, for example, girls were not encouraged to attend school, so wealthy parents taught them at home. In modern times, home-schooling has been used by some American parents who did not want their children to attend school with students of another race, or by parents who did not believe the public schools in their city were good enough and did not have the money for private school, or by parents who felt their child needed extra attention and a specially-designed curriculum. One group of parents that does a lot of home-schooling are religious Christians; they want their children to only learn a certain set of religious beliefs and study all subjects from their religion's perspective, without any of the influences they believe to be incorrect or incompatible with their faith. And as mentioned above, another frequent supporter of home-schooling are the parents whose children have special needs-- a home-schooling curriculum can be individually tailored and thus very effective. For example, there are kids who are functioning at the near-genius level and are bored with public school, so home-schooling allows the parents to design a challenging curriculum to meet their particular child's interests. Or there are kids who have emotional or behavioral issues and are bullied in public (or private) school; their parents find that home-schooling provides a safe and structured environment where their child can learn without being subjected to verbal abuse by other kids.

Do you believe that every child is genius why?

Every child is born a genius. It depends what you do after your time of birth that matters. For example you are a mother to a 1 year old baby what you should do is make it familiar with books, math, science ect and that child will keep it genius status. If you leave that child to watch tv, eat and sleep then of course, it won't be as smart as the first baby. I will give you the secret to Genius.You need,30 percent dedication and 70 percent hard work if you are a genius/gifted(in terms of iq). If you are normal which is very likely you need 1 percent genius and 99 percent hard work. Hard work includes dedication, motivation, practice and of course belief. I have an iq of 132. I don't believe im a genius for 1 minute because i know the reason i have that iq is thanks to my parents who guided me the right way. Cheerio!


Was Thomas Edison good at school?

No, Thomas Edison was not considered a good student in school. He struggled with traditional classroom learning and was eventually homeschooled by his mother. Edison's lack of success in school did not hinder his genius and innovative contributions later in life.
