Tagore’s Education

People say it that Rabindrananth Tagore had been self-taught, self-schooled Which I find it contradictory As because in the absence of teachers, how could he have excelled in, The private tutors taught him definitely, Even a few of them had been Englishmen And many helped him in translating The Bengali texts into English. Do not say it that instead of being a matric He did marvels, That praise I have not come to hear, What I can say to you is this The best teachers taught him Like the private tutors Or the counsellors of the open schooling system.
