Dee you’re 100% correct about retaining information because I graduated with a degree in Molecular Biology and if you ask me anything about it now I can’t tell you. I most definitely blocked that information or at least suppressed it way down in the back of my mind somewhere lol
So true about memory retention. These teachers know it too. Every school year they spend the first month trying to remind these kids what they learned the year before because they lost it over the summer. Also how kids do in HS doesn’t necessarily correlate to post secondary education. My daughter was told by her teachers senior year that she should just drop out and get a GPA. We refused. She graduates college in December with a 3.9 and she did it in 3 years. You really never know!
I knew the shy Asian girl was gonna be the one with the 4.0 GPA, idk what old man was going on about, saying "No eye contact typically means not as smart" or whatever he said 😂 Them antisocial girls be the smartest people in the entire school
To me school’s a combo of comprehension, effort, discipline and obedience, not so much intelligence. Doing your work the way the teacher wants it done and turning it in ON TIME is huge, especially in classes like English & Math. I’ve gotten Bs on essays that were A quality because of little errors that had nothing at all to do with my ability to tell a story.
4:29 THANK YOU I been saying this for yearsssss school (if you were taught the right info) is just a memory game. That’s why people with photographic memory pass all of their class cuz they just remember it. Don’t even matter if you understand the info honestly
I heavily relate to the 1.5 GPA kid, because even though I graduated years before the pandemic, my mental health plummeted during high school and affected me greatly. I went from being on the honor roll (3.5 GPA or higher) all of elementary/middle school to barely graduating high school with like a 2.0ish, simply because my life and mental health went to shit. It made me feel so dumb at first, and I felt like some people were looking at me differently, especially my teachers, because they never suspected that I would be one of the one's to barely graduate- but life is never predictable. Fortunately I was very lucky and they weren't judging me, no one did, but kept rooting for me :') The only person judging me was myself.. Anyway, to make a long story short- half a decade post-graduation and I am so much better. I went to college for like a year then I dropped out lmfao, not for me, and that's totally okay. Life looks different for everyone, this video is great proof of that
If Im keeping it a buck, not on no glazing shi. I think Dee is the only female content creator I fuck with. I dont agree with everything she says, but I respect her. I like that intro Dee
All my teachers always told me I was really smart. I even had a teacher give out answers on tests if I couldn’t solve it bc he said “if she can’t solve it YALL wont either.” 😂 but I also went to high school in one of those schools you see on tv that’s like no books, only substitute teachers, watched movies all day, random pat downs, and gang members and drugs. 🤦🏽♀️ we didn’t learn anything from 9-11th grade so when the ghetto lil raggedy school I went to got shut down (man at the top stole like $2M and dipped) we all got shipped to surrounding schools and did terribly. By that point we were all checked out and those of us that did finished finished with like 2.3-2.9 GPAs. We aren’t stupid the system just failed us. SMH.
Getting good grades is 100% about effort. I know smart and dumb people and the ones who tried really hard got good grades and the ones who didn't got bad ones. Especially nowadays when all the Information is online, things like Homework that count for your grades have nothing to do with how smart you are its just about if youre willing to spend all that time doing it.
Yessss, Dee!!! IQ is base on one's personal capacity. I low-key like writing slang in my essay. Right after the most academic induce line just for jokes. They be eating it up too.
I had a 4.0 and some decimals I don’t remember lol but it was literally only because my father paid me every time I got straight A’s. I’m a Capricorn about that bag all the time. I actually just graduated college a few days ago and was Magna Cum Laude with a finance degree 😁
See I totally agree when u explained that some teachers discriminate against students based on what they wear and how that can affect students’ grades cuz students will most likely feel unmotivated if a teacher treats them like they’re slackers
And since the Teachers wanna stereotype so bad aren't nerd literally known for being reserved, shy people with off posture chile these teachers pissed me off lmfao tf thank God my teachers been cool ash through my years of school
School definitely is a full time job and you’re not getting paid. Math is like the Jehovah’s Witness, it won’t leave you the hell alone. I’m tryna hop on he soft life movement but instead the all my life I had to fight movement is chasing me down 🫠😓
The reason why the old men said that the girl needs to cut her nails for going to be in pre med is because most doctors/pre-med occupations need to cut their nails so that it won't poke/break gloves while working
most of the time ppl make a false estimate of someone’s intelligence based on how well they speak and/or can communicate their thoughts. We all have a linguistic cortex that thoughts have to get filtered through in order to communicate fluidly, others have social anxiety, autism, etc. it’s hard to truly gauge someone’s intelligence ppl can rlly surprise you that’s why I never assume someone is dumb ppl have done it to me
I kept trying to wipe my screen when buddy with the plaid shirt was on and I agree, testing means nothing at all I know too many college grads who are not the brightest
4:20 I fw that speech heavy. Ive had a 2.8 majority of my school years and others with higher GPAs are either pregnant, baby daddyish, or didn't go or finish college yet
I think I get teachers assuming your GOA because that’s what gives teachers more information on who to focus on. In my experience, I’ve had friends with lower GPAs due to family issues who ended up being friends with all of the teachers because of how often they would check up on her. Meanwhile I had a pretty high GPA and never really spoke to my teachers like that so they never needed me to “prove” it.
one time i got caught skipping class with a friend and since I looked less put together, when my asshole principle asked "can I guess how many F's you each have?" he guessed 4 for me and none for my friend. turns out I had none and my friend just had one D. this type of stuff always happened to me
I went to college after highschool for a semester. I didnt want to go and my aunt was like, "I'll pay for it." So I went. The writing class teacher was a bitch and she not only gave me bad grades consistently, she didnt tell me how I could improve. So I quit. I went back to college in my 30's and did fairly well. The only things I remember are the things I've actually applied in real life situations. College isn't for everyone.
I think I need dee to be my geometry teaceher or tell my geometry that bc this man bringing up stuff from almost two years ago while we in the pandemic about some damn algebra
1.5. Wow. if you have below a 2.5 at my hs you get kicked out. They try and help you bring it up to a certain point but if it’s not there by the end of the year you have to go to your neighborhood school.
That’s a face most teachers discriminate me bcuz of my dreads I have a diamond pattern so all my dreads just cover my whole face so no one can see me not one day I go to class without a teacher telling me to put my hair in a bun or something bcuz it’s disrespectful to them 🤦🏾♂️ I just let my dreads hang n if they kick me out then out I go I’ll go spy on crush while I’m at it 😹
I like Justin Bieber but once I found out he had a 4.0 GPA when he graduated I realized you can’t tell by looking at someone. Many people in the industry have high GPAs.
I struggled in school with adhd but when I got to middle and highschool I've had 3.7 and 4.0 Gpa's. Unfortunately, I don't remember most of what I learned. I still don't think GPA determines how smart we are. I agree with Dee because the classes I remember the most stuff I liked so I passed. Math was hard with science hitting second.
I be chillin and I got a 4.0, the way I take in info is I pack it then throw it away, I also do polevault and wrestling. I barely take homework home too like wtf
I don't think you should discriminate against students for appearance (clothes) or because of a conversation but I think it does play a reasonable role because clearly if you show up in sweats or pjs in an academic or professional setting, most people won't take you seriously and if you can't form coherent sentences or convey your point in a regular conversation, you won't be expected to be much better in an academic setting. No matter how smart you are in your head, if you can't explain it coherently or put it on paper, you can't claim intelligence. This is the unfortunate reality of the world we live in, and this is what the school system tries to measure with stuff like grades and GPA. But its also very hard to fail because we get a lot of freebies in this system (15% of your grade is to show up and pay attention, and 25% is actually doing the in-class work which everyone does together) if you you do the bare minimum in a regular level class, you should at least have a c-.
Dee. I can sort of see your point about them judging someone based on how they dress, and I do agree that it's stupid for the most part. However, I think there is an important element here. The way I look at it, If I was a teacher and was going to invest my time in a student, I would look for the ones that "seem" to be putting in effort so as to not waste my time. This causes an interesting dynamic between perception and reality, where, it logically makes sense for me to help people that are dressed "nicer" because they are putting in the effort to give of the perception that they are interested in being academically sound, but, it does not mean that there is a definite correlation between how someone dresses and how smart they are. If anything, I think it says how invested that individual is at a particular set of interests, where those interests tend to lend themselves to dressing a certain type of way, a reflection of inner circle culture I guess, not necessarily how smart someone is.
If any teacher has a "waste of my time" mentality then that person should absolutely NOT be a teacher. The teacher should want ALL of their students to do well. Not just give up on some. They have to learn how to engage the students and that includes ALL of them. Too many kids fail when the teacher might be the ONLY one rooting for them and even the teacher doesn't care. That's a shitty attitude. That's when it's time to stop teaching and do something else.
Most of the content in school doesn't prove intelligence. However, I would say Physics/Engineering definitely can predict intelligence. The exams are nothing like what you study in class. They test application of knowledge.
