Feynman's Father Had No Degree — He Proved Teachers Wrong

A uniform salesman with no degree. No classroom. No textbook. He raised the most brilliant physicist of the 20th century — and schools STILL refuse to use his method.
Melville Feynman never set foot in a university. He sold military uniforms for a living. But before his son Richard was even born, he made a decision that would change the history of science forever. He would teach his son to SEE — not to memorize, not to label, not to repeat — but to actually understand what he was looking at.
This is the story of how one father, using nothing but a bird, bathroom tiles, a toy wagon, and an encyclopedia, created the mind that would win the Nobel Prize, expose NASA's failures, and prove that every classroom in the world was teaching backwards.
0:26 — The Bird on the Fence (the lesson that started everything)
2:33 — The kid got an A. Feynman got a Nobel Prize.
2:43 — Who was Melville Feynman?
3:22 — The plan he made before Richard was born
3:55 — The Tiles Lesson (mathematics without numbers)
5:09 — The Textbook Lesson (one word that ruined science education)
6:32 — The Dinosaur in Your Bedroom
7:41 — The Wagon Lesson ("Nobody knows why it's true")
10:08 — The Pope, the Uniform, and the Trick Nobody Sees
11:24 — Los Alamos: When Feynman walked into the most important room in the world
13:15 — The challenge Feynman left for YOU
13:32 — Nobel Prize 1965: "My papa brought me up this way"
15:11 — The day Melville died
15:37 — How the method survived
Richard Feynman once said: "You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, and when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing about the bird."
His father taught him that. Not a professor. Not a school. A man who sold uniforms.

I really believe that parents with the right state of mind can teach better then the school system.
Bro please do a full and proper video of all feynman techniques and feynman education system please
Be better person
Why
Understand a bird not name
