[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My good looking, muscular DH is an Eagle Scout. He can start a fire, build a shelter, keep us safe, and basically survive the zombie apocalypse.

I fail to see what is dorky about that, but hey...you do you. [/quote]

Dorky = unapproved by the worthless cool kids[/quote]

+1 The cool kids who basically can’t read. [/quote]

I have nothing against scouts but you all sound super bitter. It’s possible to be popular AND smart.[/quote]

Sure, but it’s rare....[/quote]

Keep telling yourself that.[/quote]

I don’t need to. I see it all the time :)

Guessing that’s part of the message you’re propagating in your classroom. I’m sure if you believe that smart is not cool then you are an excellent teacher.[/quote]

Nope. I said the kids who appear to be the most popular are often not the smartest. Don’t twist my words.[/quote]

That’s absolutely not what you said. You said it’s rare to be popular and smart. Just... yikes. [/quote]

That’s correct. My previous statement does not imply that it’s not cool to be smart, though. It’s just that I don’t see the most popular kids as being the smartest. Let me guess - you were popular, right?[/quote]

Moderately popular and relatively smart. I find it really disheartening that a teacher would stereotype kids in the way that you have. Seems like you’re harboring bitterness about something, and it’s not a good look.[/quote]

You seem really defensive. I just shared what I’ve observed from teaching over the years. The more popular students tended to be the more sporty ones and not as smart. The super smart kids weren’t as popular. There’s exceptions to everything and I’m definitely not stereotyping. Chill out. You’re the one twisting my words and saying I don’t think it’s cool to be smart. [/quote]

You’re totally backtracking, but OK. It’s all here in black-and-white. You said it is rare to be popular and smart. Which is patently untrue.
