According to the passage, Emerson quit teaching ………

Lecturer, essayist, and poet, Ralph Waldo Emerson was born in Boston in 1803. From a young age, Emerson experienced great emotional suffering and hardship. His mother was forced to become a landlady in 1808 after his father died. Emerson worked his way through Harvard only to later suffer temporary loss of vision in one eye and lung disease. Soon after , he experienced the deaths of his first wife, two of his brothers, and his first son. Emerson was dissatisfied as a schoolteacher. The profession stimulated his negative feelings concerning public education. In education, Emerson advocated particular reforms in teaching approaches. After teaching, Emerson attempted work in the church as a pastor, but was forced to resign due to doctrinal difference with the church. Not only did Emerson question traditional Christian beliefs, he publicly denounced the traditional beliefs of the masses regarding many area of thought. Emerson was able to use his lectures and writing to formulate new views regarding religion, education, and many areas of social and political reform.
