In 1888, he began teaching the second Luitpold. Albert got good grades in all subjects, but especially in the Natural Sciences and in Algebra.
-
When he was 15, in 1895, he started having big problems at school because of his contrary opinion with military discipline being taught.
His uncle, Jacob Einstein, a renowned engineer, Albert proposed to work with him in his laboratory, which motivated him, but also made to leave school aside.
Later, Albert Einstein tried to enroll at the Federal Polytechnic School of Zurich, where he was not accepted by not having completed high school. -
In 1896, aged 16, managed to have the graduate, but could not begin to study at the Federal Polytechnic School of Zurich before passing military service.
