A Small Step

Herbert George Wells first went to school when he was seven years old. His first school was a small, old-fashioned, private school in Bromley. The school had about 30 students in it who were taught by Tomas Morley, a man with no teaching qualifications. By the time Wells was 13 he was already finished with elementary schooling but not finished with education. Wells was very unsatisfied with the education that he received and hungered for more information. Even at this point in young Wells' life he believed that education would fix all of the worlds problems, which was his main motivation in getting an education.
