I am 15 and in the 10th grade (at a science magnet even) and i can tell you
first hand that i know of 1 other person in the whole school who actually knows
who Tesla was/is. I can't believe that absulty no one knows of tesla (a couple
of the science teachers know who he is). They should have a Tesla class... I
would take it
Thanks
