 The story goes that Edison cried for hours and then he wrote in his diary, Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child that by a hero mother became the genius of the century. The reason I tell you that story, it's very important that we understand we've got to stop telling kids they're dummies because they don't regurgitate what the teacher told them and they get an A+. This has been on my mind and my heart for a very long time. And I've talked about this over the years, but it's been a while. School is not the be all and end all.
