That doesn't appear to be the case for one teacher who called a future Nobel Prize winner's dreams of becoming a scientist "quite ridiculous" in a scathing report card.

"His work has been far from satisfactory," the teacher wrote. "If he can't learn... Not Yet Rated Author: 52 Hits, 0 Comments, Added On 10/9/2012 7:20:16 AM |
