It's an attractive idea for young kids. Maybe you're bad at school, but you
can still bloom as a genius later in life. Examples of late-blooming
talents are everywhere, Einstein isn't one. He was an excellent student in
math - and everything else - when he was younger.
The myth that he flunked a math class may be from when he failed the
entrance exam to the Zurich Polytechnic. But he was still a couple of years
from graduating high school at the time, and he didn't speak a lot of
French, the language the exam was given in. Furthermore, he passed the
mathematics section, but failed the language, botany, and zoology sections.

There are many other myths about Einstein that are untrue. For example, he
learned to read early (not late) in life and he probably didn't have a
learning disability.
