Answer Preview
Charles Darwin grew up with great scientific ideas and Shrewsbury school that was a mile away from his family residence admitted him at the age of nine. Darwin boarded at the school and frequently returned home to get information concerning family issues. The school embraced an outdated curriculum that mostly focused on geek and Latin- a curriculum that displeased Charles Darwin. Darwin’s parents, teachers, and colleagues did not regard him as clever and smart because of his poor foreign language skills.
