You know what they say,two heads are better than one :)

[EJR]

What should they call themselves then? Retarded?

What is your point here?

Yeah! Good grades don't mean anything! Because studying things and having a knowledge on a wide verity of subjects doesn't mean you're any smarter then anyone else! It just means you know more....
o wait

I got horrible grades in highschool.

nah but OP never really struck me as someone qualified to pass judgement on how smart someone is anyway........

I was a B average student and it really isnt hard to get As if you do all the homework.

Its a bullshit system. Knowing bits and pieces of everything does not make you smarter either.

You get out what you put into it. If you wanted a challenge you should have taken challenging classes and learned some critical thinking/study skills instead of just making the grade.

[Swag-in-a-Bag]

I never really actually ever heard someone refer to themselves as being "smart", usually it is used as a compliment or sacasm

Oh yeah I just thought about that. What if you take honors / accelerated learning classes and get good grades? Does that still mean you're not smart if you're putting in twice the effort every other student gets?

I still don't understand your point sequenced.

not to mention having the will power to do all of the meaningless homework, in hope of getting a scholarship to get some sort of head start on doing what you want to do, is also a pretty smart choice of action in my opinion...

I'm smart

[TheColourAwesome]

I'm too tired to make a good point. But I want to, so instead of just ignoring this thread and going to sleep I want you all to know that my post would have been here.

I'm smart because me grade point average is 3.9 in college

[Viper50]

Whenever I got good grades in school I never called myself smart ._.
Because I have never thought of myself as "smart". I think of myself as unbelievably average.
I've had other people call me smart because I never had anything below an A or an A+ in classes like Math and all of my History classes (I had like 3), but I disagreed with them no matter what they said.
I just like getting my homework done during class or before school was over for the day, and I paid insanely close attention during class is all haha.

One of the key teachings in Philosophy is that you don't need a formal education to partake. Just a willing mind.

What is smart? Someone less tired than me can make that argument.
