I was looking for the source of this beautiful story, and found the following: https://www.carlyleobserver.com/community/religion/do-you-want-the-truth-or-a-good-story-1.20705034 ----------------- The story is repeated as shown in your video. Then it continues:
Now that is a beautiful story with some truth in it. Edison tells us what really happened. He overheard the teacher tell the inspector that Edison was ‘addled’, confused, and it would not be worthwhile keeping him in school any longer.
“I burst out crying and went home and told my mother about it. Then I found out what a good thing a good mother is.
“She told the teacher that he didn’t know what he was talking about, that I had more brains than he himself, and a lot more talk like that. In fact, she was the most enthusiastic champion a boy ever had, and I determined right then that I would be worthy of her and show her that her confidence was not misplaced.”
