He was raised by his father, Hermann, and his mother, Paulina Koch, as a Jewish child. His good family background is what many people believe to be the main reason for Einstein’s intellectual gigantism. His family was not perfect, however.

He absolutely hated the high school he later went to in Munich. He felt that the mindless drilling in academic high schools was useless, so he quit at age fifteen nearing the end of the mid-term. He much preferred to study at home, especially geometry and books on popular science. Later on, these studies came into conflict with his deep religious feelings when he realized that the B...
