If a child does poorly at school and brings bad grades, do not rush to scold him and consider him a fool or a loser. After all, after school, your child's life can change dramatically, and he can become a genius, a celebrity or, for example, one of the richest people on the planet.

Studies by American scientists have shown that about thirty percent of students expelled from schools for failure, inability and even stupidity are gifted and over-gifted children. Such children are simply not interested in the standard set of school disciplines, and they often reveal themselves after graduation.

Here are some stories of famous twos who have become famous all over the world in science, art, creativity and other fields.

Weak and sickly Isaac Newton studied very poorly at school. Teachers considered him lazy and stupid, classmates teased and came up with all sorts of bullying. This went on until one guy beat Newton badly. After that, the great physicist decided to take revenge on all his abusers by becoming the best student in the class. The rest of the story is known to everyone.

Nobel laureate and creator of the theory of relativity Albert Einstein started talking late, went to school later than his peers, and at the age of fifteen he was expelled altogether for failing. The surrounding people were sure that nothing good would come of young Albert. Nevertheless, Einstein went down in history as one of the greatest scientists.

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and one of the richest people on the planet, was a two-biter at school. And although the parents were willing to pay the offspring 25 cents for each good grade, Bill managed to earn no more than five dollars in a year. But with the advent of computers at school, everything changed – outstanding abilities that had been dormant up to that time "woke up" in the young Gates.

Many of the Hollywood stars also turned out to be losers and hooligans.

For example, Al Pacino studied very badly, but he was a great visionary and writer and at the age of fourteen he enrolled in a school drama club, where he played his first roles on stage. This helped him decide on his future profession. After Alfredo failed all the final exams, he was expelled. He did a variety of low-paid jobs to raise money for an acting education. His dream came true.

Another Hollywood actor Johnny Depp was an uncontrollable bully and at the age of fifteen he was kicked out of school. A year later, he left home and sold pens, dug ditches, delivered pizza and studied music, dreaming of a career as a rock star. And one day, when the opportunity presented itself to star in a movie, young Depp happily jumped at the opportunity. The very first movie "A Nightmare on Elm Street", in which John played, made him famous.

Oscar-winning singer and actress Cher hated school - because of dyslexia, studying was difficult for her. But she adored movies and music, so at the age of fifteen, the girl ran away from home, dropped out of school and took up acting.

The famous actress and TV presenter Whoopi Goldbergalso experienced difficulties at school because of dyslexia, and finally abandoned her studies at the age of sixteen. She left home to live with hippies and went through many hard and low-paid jobs until in 1974 Goldberg managed to get a job in the theater. From that day the story of her popularity began.

The legendary leader of the Kino group, Viktor Tsoi, was also a two-year student and changed three schools during his studies. Barely having mastered eight grades, he entered the Serov Art School, from where he was expelled a year later for failing. Then he worked at the factory as a stamping machine, mastered the specialty of a wood carver. But the monotonous work did not bring him satisfaction. His mother Valentina Vasilyevna decided that her boy would leave the factory and engage in self-improvement: reading, drawing, singing. And I was not mistaken.

Star director Fyodor Bondarchuk also barely overcame secondary school and after graduation submitted documents to MGIMO. At the entrance exam, he wrote an essay with 37 errors, for which he received a well-deserved two points. But the famous father saw the creative nature in his offspring in time and sent him to study at VGIK.

The list of famous twos is long and it can be continued for a long time. But as history shows, grades at school are not yet an indicator of a child's "non-genius". Successful and real life for some begins only after school.
