Question

Why did Benjamin Franklin’s formal education end? He quit school to be an individual. His brother hired him at the printing press. He had to work for his father’s business. He failed out of school.\

Answer 1

Surprisingly, although Benjamin Franklin was an accomplished inventor, scientist, writer, philosopher, statesmen, diplomat, and abolitionist, he did not actually graduate from the finest institutions of higher learning. Benjamin Franklin's greatest education came not from any type of formal school but instead from his own life and experience.

Answer 2

Benjamin Franklin was the leading figure of the American Enlightenment and a physicist with many inventions in the field of electricity, such as lightning rods, bifocal glasses, etc. He founded many civic organizations including the Library. He was also a political theorist, mason, statesman, diplomat, inventor, humorist. His father wanted Benjamin to attend a school with a priesthood, but he only had money to send him to school for two years. He attended the Boston Latin School, but he could not graduate, he continued his education only by reading a lot. While still attending school, he turned out to be very talented because in only one year from the middle class, he was reaching to the very top. His formal education ended when he was ten, after which he worked with his father for some time, starting with twelve as an assistant in the printing press with his brother. So he did not end formal education to work with his father and brother, but he started working with his father and brother, because he could not continue his education because of the financial situation.

The answer is: He failed out of school.
