Do great scientists (=physicists) teach their own kids themselves?

Einstein was a terrible teacher, being good at something doesnt mean you have pedagogic skills.

It takes time to teach and you don't need a Ph.D. with a long and successful history of publishing to do it. It's better for society to have people apt at teaching spend their time doing that while the Einsteins do research. Whatever genius will go down through healthy family interactions and genetics.

>can solve any problem in physics/math
>can write great scientific papers
>can evaluate and peer review papers of others

>isn't extrovert, handsome, doesn't have charismatic voice, and isn't FUN; just the things a student needs ;^)

Diginatives these days

Also, I'm pretty sure that if you asked any doctoral student who they would like to be their teacher ..

Put a PhD teaching physics on a school and see how well it goes, fag. Most lack the communication skills to catch the attention span of a kid

school is important to develop intersocial skills
being a genious doesn't mean you're a good teacher
the kind of stuff kids learn is simple enough to be mastered by some typical teacher, it doesn't need you to be a genious

He actually said once that if you can't teach something to someone else, you don't really understand it. You might even understand it on an intuitive level, but you need to go deeper to be able to make someone else understand you.

Einstein basically abandoned his children.

His father however, was an engineer, and took great care in educating his son at an early age.

Einstein's nephew taught physics at my high school. He was clearly brilliant, but he was a shit teacher. This doesn't really have anything to do with your question though.

someone said that but I don't think it was him

Sounds like something Feynman would say.

Teaching is not an easy task my dear.
Everyones understanding of a concept or anything in physics and math differ, thinking process if different therefore you have to teach in a way where you understand something on a globalised (general) way and they have to give the student time for them to interpret something their own way wafterwards. I myself know that when you are in say uni roght and you try to tutor you cousin who is in primary school about something simple like what is the correlation between gravity and free fall, it seems easy to you but to bring it down to a foundamental level is hard becouse kids are still developing brains and dont understand concepts wich are not clear to the naked eye. But yes if you understand something well its easyer to explain it in detail and simplify it at your own will!3@;&5@4@3!3!:&:&;$:!:)/)2$2$3&;&

Geniuses are usually homeschooled, they learn most stuff when their brain is malleable. Examples: math genius Terry Tao, Science olympiad prodigies Reid Barton and Gabriel Carroll.
