Perhaps every genius teenager will have some different performances in school, just like Stephen Hawking, when he entered the school, the typical "Hawking language" impressed the students, but no one knew, it was such a person who even swallowed and spit, and finally became a great scientist.
When Hawking was 8 years old, the family moved to St. Albans. Stephen therefore attended The Preparatory School in Radlette for a year and then took the "Eleven Plus" test of the child's intelligence, in which he passed the qualification for a national education and was given the opportunity to attend St Albans Public Schools for free.
Although Stephen did well, his father wanted him to be admitted to Westminster School, because in Frank's view, only a private school education was more likely to achieve future career success.
Frank's point of view is well-founded. Because at the time, most British parliamentarians were well educated, and those in senior positions at the BBC, universities and the military were also educated in private schools. Since Frank himself had studied at a small private school with a modest background, he had a vague sense that others were somewhat prejudiced against him.
This made Frank feel that his parents' limited financial strength hindered his career development. Therefore, he did not want his eldest son to return to his path. So he decided that he must send Stephen to the best school in the country to study. Later, he chose the Westminsters Holding School, which is a very well-known private school in the UNITED Kingdom.
But the reality that comes with it is that a scientist's income alone cannot afford to attend this school because its tuition fees are too expensive. This requires Stephen to achieve excellent grades in the entrance exam and receive a scholarship so that tuition fees can be waived in whole or in part.
In Frank's opinion, Stephen was gifted and promising to receive a scholarship.
But Frank was disappointed, not because Stephen didn't do well, but because he happened to be sick on the days of the exam, which caused him to fail the exam at all. So Frank had to send Stephen to St Albans School, a well-known private church school in St. Albans.
Frank was remorseful that his son had not been able to get into Westminster School, but later found that st. Albans School was still very successful in teaching. Stephen also gained a lot from St Albans School.
It is worth mentioning that at St Albans School, Stephen spoke a strange "Hawking language". This makes everyone very unaccustomed. In fact, the hawking people will have a little stuttering when they speak, and others often do not know what they are expressing, only to feel that they stutter, which seems very clumsy and laborious, but some people will think that this way of speaking is precisely because they are extremely intelligent, so that their speech can not keep up with their extremely active and sharp thoughts.
Looking at the characteristics of some celebrities, the great Danish physicist Niels Bohr also has this problem, Bohr always speaks and constantly says "But... But..." It makes others feel like they can't get their heads around and can't understand what he's saying. In fact, it is in this "but... But..." Under the cover of words, a huge leap of thought took place.
It is very coincidental that Stephen also has this language habit, always unable to speak clearly, perhaps his own brain is very clear, but the person who listens to it is full of shock, do not know what he muttered.
It is precisely because Stephen has this very obvious problem that a few teachers and classmates regard him as a "fool" and think that he is unlikely to have anything in the future; but there are also some wise teachers and classmates who are shocked by Stephen's rare intelligence, so someone gave him a great nickname: "Einstein".
For this reason, when Stephen was 14 years old, two classmates had very different evaluations of Stephen, one thought that he would never become a talent, and the other thought that he would inevitably create a magnificent performance. To this end, the two also made a bet on a bag of candy.
Later, when Stephen became famous, the man who won the bet didn't get the bag of candy he deserved, but he declared to the man who lost the bet: "You owe me a bag of candy, don't forget!"
Although Stephen was ridiculed as a "Hawking language" when he spoke at St. Albans School, this did not affect the good feelings of his classmates, because he would always do something that surprised everyone and won the attention of his classmates.
