Smarts isn't measured by grades [at least in my opinion].

Do you think your smart?

Why does others' opinions matter?

Has someone called you stupid?

You are stupid. I am stupid. Everyone is stupid.

At one point everyone is stupid. At one point everyone is greedy. At one point everyone is brilliant.

In the end it doesn't matter if you are smart, or stupid, or funny.

What matters is how you carry yourself and if you have confidence to be yourself.

Its good that your grades are high,it means you have put in the work or at least paid attention.

I know adults who cannot read or write,yet I consider them smart,they have learned coping skills that I could never imagine.

There are many different takes on 'smart',and I find I'm always learning,it might be educational,or listening to someone's else's opinion or someone's take on things.

Hi, joy b!

What grade are you in and what sort of subjects do you take, please?

Thanks!

Yes ! I was going to ask that too, good point, Clough ! Whatever they are it means they have to be expounded upon. Could be a good way of judging future occupation. You go with the flow, so to speak.

Good points, but I think we are hearing from a middle grader. It is best to encourage grades like this if I am right. I don't think 'stupid' used so many times is encouragement.

Way to go kid...

I don't think grades really show if you are smart or not. I get all A's in college and I still think that I'm not that smart. I don't think I'm dumb either, but there are still times when I am stupid. No one is 100% smart.

I do hope that joy b will return to address the posts here!

Thanks!

I got all As, Bs and Cs in my GCSEs and I'm an idiot. :D

It doesn't matter whether you're smart or not, it matters that you're happy. :)

"A man's happiness consists of the free exercise of his highest faculties". Aristotle

It is good to be smart. But it is also good to be wise in your actions.

I know a goodly number of smart peple who hurt themselves and others due to not being wise in their actions.
