A Six in a School Report is Good!
Here is an excerpt from Albert Einstein's school report. It is full of fives and sixes. For this reason, it was thought for a long time that the super-scientist was a poor pupil. But that is wrong!

Albert Einstein is in Switzerland for the last years of his education. Six is the best grade there! However, in spite of this he is not a model pupil. He is excellent in mathematics, physics and other natural sciences but only average in other subjects. He still completes his exams for entering university.
