In my old school its really bad to have straight a's, turn your assignments on time and follow teachers rules. I just want to know your opions on this.

It has always been this way an will continue to be so because of the media and society's perceptions on how someone is meant to be......dont take any notice, the world is bigger than high school and in ten years time when you are successful as a researcher or doctor or engineer or something You can look back and say, look where i am now, these people gave me crap and looked down on me because i was smart, where are they now? Probably either dead, in jail, or sitting on welfare and unmarried with a bunch of kids, get on with your life and be what you will be, 20 years time you wont even know who these people were anyway.

Intellectuals and hardworkers are few and far between. People have evolved to consider such matters as school work trivial. It could be because they don't have the ability to get straight A's that they regard people who can as uncool; it could also be the way our society is: promoting a superficial way of living...

It's always been like that and probably always will be. No one likes the person who's at the top. Just look at the bright side, in a few years, you'll be able to buy and sell people like that. Except for the jocks who became famous athletes and will still make more than you. Sometimes, theres just no justice.

it's not just now-a-days, it was the same when I went to school 10 years ago. It's funny now looking back and seeing the people who got straight a's are pretty successful and the people who made fun of them are still losers (drug addicts, working minimum wage jobs and still living at home). I say be as smart as you possibly can and dont ever let any "bully" try to break you down to their pathetic level !

It is different in Private School.
In the USA, Public School has been allowed to disintegrate into a Hazing Facility.

Because the media and society decided that doing what you are supposed to and getting good grades to get ahead in life was wrong.

Because Pop culture makes it seem like a rebel is good.
