Ode to Intelligence: 40 Benefits of Being Smart in School
From early elementary school, some students just stick out as “the smart kids.” Here are 40 reasons why…
- They ask rhetorical questions.
- They know what rhetorical questions are.
- They dominate at trivia games.
- They insult people without showing the insulted victim that he/she just got verbally slapped
- The other intelligent people around will laugh at such insults
- They can be charmingly arrogant
- The teachers don’t mind this arrogance
- The smart teachers actually encourage such behavior
- They usually end up rich
- They are only biased against those of lesser intelligence
- Which means the majority of the earth’s population
- They hate school more than anyone, because it isn’t challenging
- To make up for the lack of challenge, they do well on the easy stuff
- The intelligent males can have conversations having nothing to do with girls or football
- They have conversations about the irony that girls and football are the most common topics
- And they laugh some more
- They magically are able to participate in almost every activity
