Teachers Guess Students' GPAs | Lineup | Cut 

honestly I thought it was too stereotypical for her to be the 4.0, usually they have someone who doesn't fit the common stereotype.

In my experience this is not generally true, because excellent students are also, multi-faceted. So, they kind of have to be social and they become somewhat of social butterflies.

as a person with a 4.0 gpa im not shy at all 😭

This is so dumb. You literally cannot “know” what someone’s GPA is by their body language or how they present themselves. That’s literally the entire point of the video.

sameeee

It is. They struggled during covid. That's the only reason why their gpa isn't higher.

I know right, my brother does talk like him and he hated school and college ( he dropped out ) but got a job directly because of how he spoke. I always believe that grades don't shape people, if you work hard you will get them if you're not interested you won't

I'm just like him except I didn't have mental health issues. I think that's a Modern Trend. Not having mental health issues but like being outspoken about them like that. Like, if he was in the previous-generation, he probably would have just kind of moved on with his life instead of kind of exploring that Avenue. So I think it's important to kind of just go about your business instead of like trying so hard. But I guess it's trends. Anyway yeah I'm just like him. I'm very smart but I had a low GPA. But that's just cuz I didn't do my homework. Because I had other shit to do. Like I have a life to live

​@@zzzcocopepeLets not discredit mental health issues. Mental health issues especially ADHD and Depression CAN cause problems for people in school especially with giving them a lack of interest or the mentality that they should "just give up"

​@@tacobell1299 That's me in a nutshell. I was in AP classes for a bit and then my ADHD "flared" when I hit my teens - just made my executive function awful, which fueled my depression. I doubt I even got a 1.5 in anything. Ended up doing 5 years of high school, dropped out, and got my GED. I finally got back on my feet after being diagnosed with ADD and getting the appropriate accommodations, but man, it was a nightmare until then. Mental health/ND/ADA accomodations/care still needs to come a long way.

i would've given a big ass glare tbh, i cant blame her

@@pamelam1101 Well, you also can’t blame the teachers. They are tasked with judging the grades of students they don’t even know. They can only base it off of first impressions.

Outspoken usually lower grade but more successful in future

what time was that?

THIS!

Yeah the way they said it felt like they were saying she wasn’t good enough without actually knowing anything about her…

yeah there is so much subtle sexism in this video its sad

​no there isnt @@thedarkfroggy

@@thedarkfroggy i dont think there is. why would the woman discriminate against her own gender

@@kobalt4083 i dont know but some women do anyways

Sigh. Me in a nutshell. It is exhausting. I have gone into depression over sitting an examination and thinking I failed.

​@@rockyrae3455Rightt??? I'm kinda like that and I tend to completely exaggerate things. If I commit a mistake and know I did I totally lose my confidence for all the other questions and think I failed the exam completely. 99% of the time it turns out just fine

Yeah well that’s just how it goes. It’s great that she has a 4.0 in high school but the students that are going to stand out over her are going to have the same GPA + social skills.

@@michaellemmen "It’s great that she has a 4.0 in high school but the students that are going to stand out over her are going to have the same GPA + social skills." she doesn't "not have social skills" she just has a more reserved personality *sigh*

This is so me

right?! ppl in the comments calling him "sweet" for empathising with the skaters mental health issues but ignoring how his words could affect the shy girls mental health

guys pls stop calling me a skater ive never skated in my life😭

Well he's a white dude... Can't expect him to resonate with an Asian girl's struggle against invisibility.

Dont get me wrong i had a few really good Language arts teachers but most just ruined the subject 🤷‍♀️

I noticed that too

I found the way she interacted with male students as opposed to female students to be very off. Reminds me of teachers who would favour the male students, and give less attention and praise to female students.

Exactly

why are u taught to keep head down? what is the reason behind? i mean how could that be good?

It’s so annoying how yt people live in their own box and don’t realize different cultures have different norms on what’s acceptable and how to act. not stereotyping but most asian women i knew in high school were all 4.0 students but always also very shy.

They both have glasses.. 😭

he is my teacher !!!

which one bestie?

@@brigidstaveley2704 that’s cool!! do u like his class?

​@@unordinaryo9886 it's obvious which one they were talking about

I would have hugged him 😢

Yes, I do not think that many individuals take up the profession of teaching with the best interest of the students in their hearts; only a morsel of individuals.

Why was a crying when he said that

@@alexandrawhelan6422 because he is an empathetic human being 🤦‍♂️

W teacher

likewise

You're indeed right!

​@@taigaforest2009 Well , I am a lot like u. But when it's comes to giving answer in vivas, displaying my abilities I do it confidently because I know I am prepared. And in vivas when u get like 2-3 mins with the examiner u really have to rely on ur speaking skills and not just ur answer. I want the marks inv so I have to shed my shy personality at that point and appear as confident as possible. It's gives an impression that I know everything. It works always

You understand that's life? People who are more confident are almost always perceived to be more capable. It's not some anecdotal, small sample case. Everyone has this perception even you. It's very fundamental psychology.

this is why i had sooo much beef with my teachers as a 4.0 student, because at the same time, i am absolutely NOT shy. quiet and withdrawn and introverted - yes. but once they criticized me for who I am, I bit back immediately.

Same here.

yeah, I developed really bad anxiety bc of covid

bruh covid is over

@@ceoofaesthetics5281I can tell you’re like 10, clearly you don’t understand High School.

Praying that you are doing well❤

well i mean the way u present urself is a massive part of what other ppl are gna think of u whether u like it or not. idk y u find it that surprising lol

@SomeAsianDude I agree that it's important to try to present yourself in the best possible light, but sometimes things like gender or race are unfairly considered in a negative way. Girls' skills are often overlooked often enough to cause a blow to confidence. I'm not surprised, I'm disappointed.

@@andrearace1168 Except for the fact that there is no solid ground for the argument you've made about a girl's skill often being overlooked, that's called hasty generalization and is quite unfitting. The reason I say there's no ground for it, apart from the obvious, is that it'd be the same as me making the claim that "ppl generally see boys as silly and unserious and don't do well in school hence it blows their confidence". This argument doesn't stand because there's nothing to actually back it up except for "i feel that..." what u may find to be true can be a world of difference from the actual fact.

@@someasiandude8645 I see your point, and it's valid. I don't have any objective facts to stand behind, but when started the video I would have guessed right away that she was the 4.0 student. Some forms of discrimination are subtle enough where there isn't solid logic that can be used to call it out, only trends in what you see. As far as what you mentioned about boys not succeeding in school, where there are statistics, there are reasons. It could be discrimination, or it could be an external reason, but it deserves to be investigated. I could be wrong as to why she doesn't come across as confident or isn't perceived as being as high achieving as she is, but for some reason she was underestimated by all three people even after talking to her, despite it seeming reasonable for her to be chosen by at least one of them as the 4.0 student. This seems to be a trend to me that women seem to be underestimated in their intelligence and abilities.

As an Asian woman, a lot of us struggle highly with self confidence. Many of us have such high expectations placed on us and it’s caused a lot of anxiety and self-esteem issues. Even now as I am about to start working soon, I’ve gotten so many comments from profs and supervisors over the years saying I lack confidence and my personality is too reserved. And I’m honestly so fucking sick of hearing this

This!!!

Yes, exactly what I was thinking. I can’t make prolonged eye contact but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about school, it’s the opposite.

Yeah, teachers would always tell me that and you only grow up to be insecure about your personality

Yep or trauma, ADHD. So many things.

That’s what I was thinking. I had good grades in high school, but I’m not extremely outgoing. I’m pretty shy and eye contact can be difficult for me, especially if I think about it to hard lol.

Right. From a SUBSTITUTE teacher

@@dsgbrebel03 lmaooooo-the gall!

Yeah these teachers were sus at hell. They definitely have some unconscious bias they need to work through

I hated all of their limited ass interactions with him. He had the look on, you know the look we have when they speak to us. So I'm glad but sadden that he already knows what's up.

I can't know for sure, but I think it's possible that the question was actually asking something like "Is school easy for you because you are gifted and you could get a 4.0 if you really wanted to but maybe you slack a bit because school has always seeemed easy, or are you average intelligence but put in a lot of effort and hard work to get the 3.8 GPA and if you didn't put in the extra effort then you might have a lower GPA?"

I don’t think gpa has anything to do with how smart you are. If you have a low gpa things might not be going very well at home or you are depressed or you just simply aren’t good at school and feel like it’s holding you back etc

Writing and speaking are so different

That true 😭 bro It's just hard facing with someone during covid

Feel that. I also had a 4.0. The way she carried herself screamed 4.0 to me. It was the anxiety and stress of that 4.0 mindset. And the frustration she had when they assumed she had 3.8 because of her lack of confidence. It was always so frustrating because you're trying so hard to make up for your personality with your GPA and then everyone just assumes the charmers are smarter and harder working than you. Not to say they aren''t, just the assumption makes you feel like shit.

Keeping a 4.0 was a bare minimum for me because I have the opportunity to get a free education unlike my parents. I had a little bit of stress but it was manageable. High school was pretty easy overall.

Bruh everyone in the replies got a 4.0 GPA?💀

In Canada we didn’t do GPAs in high school (only university) but I had an approximately 91% average among all my classes (my classes were math and science focused along with English and AP Micro Economics). However, I had no confidence and not really anything interesting going on in my life. 5 years later I have graduated university and started working and can tell you that in the real world no one gives a flying fuck about your grades, it’s all about confidence and your personality. I suppose grades are just thresholds to get into university programs, but from there it aint shit. In the hiring process they didn’t even ask for my university GPA 😂

I think she was also sad about all the encouragement the others were getting when it looked to me like maybe she needed it the most. She seems to feel a lot of pressure on herself

So true and extremely sad.

It’s known as the pygmalion effect. Where the teachers expectations affects the students motivation & performance

Did you just take AP Psychology because I just learned that term LOL

damn. fr.

And they grade you accordingly.

I felt like they were judge to the Black guy and Asian girl 👀👀

I think you overestimate how many 25+ year olds are “settled” into adulthood lol

@@Alex-02 facts lmao im one of the unsettled still

25 is too soon after college to see ROI for college grads, would skew things in favor of the kids who don't value school as much and might have lower GPA. Wait until 30-35 for a more fair comparison.

as someone who’s not from America and doesn’t go off of GPA’s, I was wondering, how is it calculated? because like you said you get A/B’s so I would assume you have a high GPA but you said you don’t. just curious and hoping your mental health has gotten better now ☺️

@@penguin-tc1cx Pretty sure they mean that they're usually an A/B student but during that period the mental health struggles caused them to underperform. With the American GPA system if you fuck up one or two semesters it can be impossible to bring your GPA back up to close to what it was before.

@@penguin-tc1cxhey base it off your grade in the class by the end of the semester so say even if you are getting A/Bs on assignment but your overall grade for the class is bad then it’s not going to help your GPA when they add all of it together at the end of the year.

@That One Welsh Guy i was about to reply but you explained it pretty well so thank you lol

@@penguin-tc1cx basically all the grades you get throughout all four years is turned into a cumulative grade and that’s your gpa. Gpas are calculated every semester. So basically how you calculate gpas is every letter grade counts for a gpa number. A+ is 4.5, A is 4.0, B is 3.0, C is 2.0, D is a 1.0 and anything below that you don’t want lol. So last semester my final grades were a 4.5 in science, a 4.5 in English, a 4.5 in art, a 4.5 in fitness, a 4.5 in crew, a 3.0 in geography, and a 2.0 in math. The way to calculate it is to add up all of those and divide the number by what classes you have. So adding all those up is a 27.5 and when you divide that by the number of classes (7 classes) it’s a 3.9. But basically throughout high school you just want your grades every semester to be good then they average it and that’s your gpa for college Last semester for me was really hard actually because a teacher told me how to calculate my gpa and I got obsessed with keeping it really good. I would check it every single day after school and get so stressed out sometimes that’s I wouldn’t be able to do anything except worry about my gpa.

I’d love to see software engineers there. Plenty of 2.5 GPA students who make like $200-300k because GPA is not super important.

considering your networking lands a lot of gigs & most jobs arent looking at transcripts these days, it could be all over the place. Minus professions like doctors & lawyers we could see some really high achieving folks with low GPAs

@@johnnyyip9404 Well, there's significantly more to the story than that. The science shows that GPA, particularly in college, does correlate with success in one's future. However, software engineers tend to have "lower" GPAs because their classes are significantly harder than average and, therefore, are expected to be lower by employers. GPA, particularly in software engineering, is not very important because they will easily weed out those that can code well and those that can't in their hiring process. Many Big Tech interviews are multi-day, multi-hour interviews. Software engineering is the exception to the rule. Most employers are going to care about a candidate's GPA if it's their first job out of college.

Yes!!

I had a very low GPA in high school now I am a principal Engineer just did not want to do any work in school

You and everyone in these comments are also not mentioning that the teachers were ranking these students off of what their preconceived notions are. Of course theyre going to go with their instinct or what they've experienced, you and everyone else on the planet would act the same way if they were given this opportunity to rank people, especially off of a defined metric where they have to rank them off of whatever numbers are placed in front of them. Im sure none of the teachers mean anything negative by ranking them the way they did, they were literally asked to rank them off of their experiences as teachers, thats why they have teachers doing this and not someone in another occupation. Also im not attempting to attack you with this, reply, just that a large majority of these comments act so upset what other people think, it shows insecurity instead of just believing in their own abilities no matter what people think of them. Nobody knows you better than yourself and i feel bad that it takes people so long into their lives to realize this.

@@Moleymoler you cant convince the keyboard warriors trying to find anything to get mad at good luck though

I was also a troubled kid like he was. I didn't even finish highschool. I was kicked out and subsequently admitted to a mental institution because of my depression. Pretty sure I had like a 1.0 GPA. I also never applied myself in school. I went back to do my undergrad at 26... I'm sitting at a 4.0 right now.

Fr

I didn't like the substitute teacher questioning why he could achieve a 3.8. He seemed to ask the others what they wanted to do next, whereas he was shocked that this guy could achieve this.

he has a DEO hoodie on !

​@@evennotodd agreed. i think the easiest guesses should have been the 2.0, the 4.0, and 3.8 gpa. you can tell the 4.0 works hard and the 3.8 clearly has a strong support system

I had a very good support system, dressed like him, played sports etc, yet my parents are Latin American Immigrants. Don’t think that has all too much to do with it.

I would hire that guy for whatever job. Respectful, no bs (or at least does his bs in private), quiet but capable, attentive. Everything else can be learned on the job. Hope he can make his mom proud (not that she isn't already).

isn't 4 the max gpa? Im from the UK so we don't use that system but from media I've always seen 4 as the best?

@@kathybrown3124 You can get a gpa higher than a 4.0 when you earn As in all AP classes I believe

My school had AP classes but the max was still 4.0. I think it just depends on the school.

@@Alyssa-oc7rj we’re u in them lol?

@@kathybrown3124 In my country the maximum is 6,0. F = 1, D = 2, C = 3, B = 4, A = 5 and A+ (or the mark you get for 100%) = 6

Well one must generalize to guess something like this. However. That guy said he took AP classes but they guessed he was 2.0, like why...

The glasses math teacher was really chill

​@@monicawilson8075 cause they already filled the higher spots and couldn't change them. They literally said they would give him a higher gpa if they had spots available.

In reality they would be spending lots of time with the kids and seeing their work. If they didn't make any assumptions then this segment would just be all the teachers saying "I have no way to tell what is this student's GPA.

Yupp diversity is so important, especially in the classroom

relatable as an girl of African immigrants. I'm sure my posture then was much worse. I couldn't even walk in the hallways without stepping weird cuz I was so tense. I'm 30 now and doing 100 times better! High school may suck kids, but its only the beginning of your life and will get much better!

@@MsDudette21 oh lord. That’s my problem now. I can’t even walk down the hallways without trembling, nearly tripping, etc. Did things ever get better for you during highschool, or was it afterwards?

@@Vernors most people are pretty awkward in high school dont sweat it

Same. I felt like my teachers favored the loud kids who did bad in school cause they gave the teachers attention idk.

this!! omg. i remember being younger, & my teacher questioning my grade on an assignment saying "i dont think youre a hard worker," before. and that really crushed me, esp since i worked so hard for a good grade in her class, only for her to drop it to a 72% because i didnt complete a warm-up.

@@remwifeyykeep going guys 💖🥹💖

Good for you that you stood up. It’s disgusting when people with higher authority act this way. It says a lot about our society…

its definitely not unconscious hence the "from MY experience" that one of the teachers said

It doesn’t reflect the importance of appearance as much as it reflects the importance of noticing and trying to disregard one’s biases

Disagree with that last part. It reflects the importance of questioning your own fucking biases.

Is it baseless biases or pattern recognition that would often be correct ? 🤔

@@swegatron2859 it is the latter, and it's completely reasonable to have these judgement about people based on some of their caracteristics - everyone has them, and they can be useful considering our caracteristics, whatever they be, aren't isolated variables with no influences on one another (ex to avoid dangers - you will be wary of someone who has eardrop tattoos & menacing tattoos all over him, who looks intimidating and strong, who looks too serious, etc.). It'd be wrong to act on these preconceived opinions as if they were some absolute truth without learning about the individual (if you can), however.

Keep it that way ! So many students need people like you !

If we wanted to go by school’s discriminations (which does exist) in the actual 2023/2024 US system then the girls should be ranked first, then the non-white races lastly white as the administration being as impacted by nonsense that racism and sexism do still persist but not in the way you think of.

@@hamiltonhardy289 I entirely agree with you! As a metal head in high school, many teachers and students are convinced I lack potential and am just an overall disinterested outcast. I’m about to finish my freshman year, and being most definitely a quiet, reserved student, my peers have a hard time believing I achieved a 4.5 GPA; one of, if not the highest in each of my classes. Anyway, if y’all want to talk music, my favorite band is by far The Black Dahlia Murder!

The school at work at follows this idea. We give no grades, there are no tests. There are so many ways to evaluate students other than grading them.

And isn't it disgusting how much garbage teachers are being put through in this country now? Indoctrinating kids, grooming kids, all this crap that is objectively not true. I just don't get it anymore how we can treat our teachers this bad, and then expect them to do their jobs and make the next generation of students with all this overhead. It's beyond me. Not to mention the pay situation most teachers deal with, having to buy supplies etc themselves. Just, ugh.

The whole argument or the proposition that school grades should be a determining factor of one's abilities is in and of itself a big disgrace. Personally, I have always found myself disapproving the system of school, and I was always regarded as an inadequate individual in my school days; that lurking thought of being a useless student deteriorated me further -- I could not help myself but think that everything was very unfair given the plethora of students ranging from different types of backgrounds and abilities.

Nah but he still made clear assumptions on the reasons for his low score, and was only supportive after he realised he hadn’t even considered that people have other factors in their life such as mental health. A good teacher should take their pupils whole lives into consideration at all times, to truly support them. Hopefully he learnt something from this and will now become a good teacher.

Nah that was an example of how teachers shouldn’t be, his comments about the nails was very condescending. Not to mention the other bias he had

I'm sorry. If it's any consolation, shyness is actually seen as desirable in other more collectivist cultures. There, being shy and reserved would make you appear smart, popular, and well liked.

And that's why I feel that as teachers it should have been important to be aware of and fight against these bad natural habits in order to treat all students fairly.

I feel you brother. U need to report these types of people.

Only study for yourself I always got good grades for the praise of being smart but if you think about it it's really dumb you have to find the thing you really like and give it your all. believe me it is better that you didn't get the praise and you still had good points because when you get in university the praise is gone and you start to think why you even go to university

@@gabrieldasilva1560 I see your point. But the point is about being unequal. It's not like they are avoiding praising everyone in order to prevent this "studying for the praise" thing. It's about their preference and bias. Therefore, I would refuse to acknowledge even the slightest good for me in that past experience.

Oh darling, so sorry that happened to you😢😢😢

Happened to my sister. Just because of one teacher she lost her gold medal. She's become totally opposite of her bubbly personality. I sometimes wish she had never gone to uni.

I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to you. Don't let people of the past stop your from being the happiest in the present. All the best

I think it's cause it's a cut video and they tought it would be to obvious

If they gave the Asian girl the highest gpa them ppl in the comments might start saying they were stereotyping

i think you have to take into account tho they’re speaking from experience as teachers

Quiet and slouching is literally the indicator of a smart person 💀 quiet means they don’t have time to socialize, and slouching means they’re invested in doing work on a desk

​@@David.124they gave the last girl a 4.0 because that's the only one that's left

I had very low self-esteem in school because of bullying, loneliness and things at home. Teachers, and later bosses, would hold me back on better opportunities because of it. Confidence can be overrated.

That makes sense: if you don‘t care about your body or don’t do any activities that give you confindence, why would you care about your education. If you don’t call it out, people will always keep these bad habits

Have you ever talked to the smartest kid in the grade, they know it and act like it. It’s fair to assumption to think the 4.0 might have had a little cocky attitude.

I was gonna say, the ppl with the best grades can be the quietest and least confident bc they rely on academic validation

I was a 4.0 student. The lack of confidence thing made a lot of sense to me because I too was the quiet shy kid at the back with absolutely no self esteem. I used to find my worth through my grades and that became a big part of my identity, because I was convincing my worth through other people's validation. It was actually, really, sad. My confidence definitely got better in time but that comment killed me, because lack of confidence is the reason I had 4.0 but at the same time is perceived to be a negative characteristic

Obviously the well dressed folks would rank higher. There would also be preconceived racial notions (asians coming off smarter), other stereotypes etc. that would be a disaster

@@aryav.1108 exactly, we could see how stereotypes play into people's preconceived notions of what they deem "intelligent" and then how those stereotypes r changed after getting to talk to them

@@egkidk that would definitely be an interesting experiment.

@@aryav.1108a necessary disaster because people like to believe race doesn’t play as big of a role in minor things as it does

To be fair, their goal was to judge them. Being judgy is kind of required to be a judge.

The sub was kind of a jerk at times

I felt bad for the teacher man, I love that guy but it was clearly heavy on him too and he cares

Jus say u insecure bro

He was intelligent though he just didn’t have good gpa

Confident people are usually intelligent. Knowing that you're intellectually superior to most other people definitely makes it easier to feel confident.

@@AD-nq2nz you mean like the girl with the 4.0?

@@AD-nq2nz youre not smart

It's so dumb i love it

He’s right I seriously had to take an extra year in high school and am now and Executive Director for a Nonprofit. It took me time to find myself.

@@caitlincanup9768 Congratulations girl! 🎉😊

He seems great! Good for you, girl! I can tell he’s so proud of you!

Congratulations!!! You’re doing great and your dad is so visibly proud 🥹🥹

Thanks y’all he cares so much about his students he’s a good guy

he was my science teacher about 6 years ago, dude is an amazing person and i really do love talking to him when i get the chance

i mean the show is built on stereotypes so no matter what the teachers are going to get fucked in the comments

Yes!!!

ew, no. we would get more violence.

@@pvoss3073 bro what?

@@pvoss3073 Are you ok?

If you don’t mind giving the advice, how did you manage to shake off your anxiety in the workforce and when publicly speaking? I have social anxiety, and I struggle insanely with job interviews. It’s so bad I really believe I won’t be able to get a job once I graduate college in a few months.

​@@ladymiresame. I graduate in December and I'm freaking out.

Bro said a whole lotta nothing

Facts

@@Jetdonk3y cuz you got 1.5 reading comprehension

@@Jetdonk3yagreed

@@Jetdonk3y you likely hasn't even made as many good observations and conclusions in your entire life as the commenter had in their one comment.

IKKK like how else do you get a 3.8gpa, you don’t just get it!

Nah I didn’t try in high school and got the same. High school isn’t hard. Being a kid in high school is hard

@@warrenjones1725 good for you! The guy was still very micro-aggressive.
