I knew she was the 4.0 GPA right away when she stepped up. Excellent students aren’t usually very social, at least not right away to strangers. Also, her glare after being given 3.8 told me EVERYTHING.

[@gavin5314]

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.

[@basil9633]

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.

How could they dismiss the 4.0 girl just because she didn't seem confident? Do they not realize the better students are often the most self-critical because their standards are so high? That the more they learn, the more they realize they have yet to learn? My aunt CRIED after an exam because there were two questions she knew she'd gotten wrong. When scores and rankings were released, it turned out that those were the only questions she got wrong and she was ranked #1 on that exam and in the school. That's what a 4.0 student often is like.

[@zzzcocopepe]

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

​@@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 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

[@tennyopallas]

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.

[@burnaxel]

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.

[@BrandonParker_]

Bruh everyone in the replies got a 4.0 GPA?💀

[@poejavelski148]

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 😂

Exactly! These teachers have obviously never seen what a humble, not arrogant, top student looks like. Her looks were screaming "I'm the 4.0 student". How tf did they not notice? I knew it the moment she started walking (espcially after she said she wants to go pre-med)

@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.

[@someasiandude8645]

@@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.

[@andrearace1168]

@@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.

[@colonelsanders5529]

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

It saddens me how the math teacher expressed empathy to the skater dude for his mental health struggles but was nothing but critical to the shy student.

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

[@mooncookies7803]

@@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.

[@Ally33218]

I find it so interesting that the girl who has the 4.0 is the one everyone assumed was just shy of it.

[@Moleymoler]

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.

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. Shame, really.

I also let her know how disrespectful that was. For them to ask him if the gpa was given to him was pure disrespect. If I was him I would’ve asked “why would it be given to me?” So I can watch him stumble over his words… A post on twitter explained this perfectly “Black students have to endure only to be seen as the least intelligent in the group.

[@BeetleBugz]

as a 4.0 student, i knew right away who it was i have such low confidence, and it's likely from being pressured to be perfect constantly

[@sawaalbino]

I'm a strong believer of never judge someone based on their look. I was a student who didn't like school, introverted, didn't pay much attention if i find the topic boring, sleeping in class/ cut classes, caught in fights, rule breaker, always playing on the field, wrote "to be happy" when asked what do i want to be when i grow up. But i got all A's almost every exams in my life. While my friend who was a good girl, obedient, studies a lot until she got eyebags..got mostly B's. Sometimes, teachers were being unfair because i got better treatment compared to tnis girl eventhough i did as i pleased, just because i got better grades

Damn what u do now?

[@sawaalbino]

@@keysersoze5032 like a typical asian who has good grades, i'm a doctor now, this June is my 10th year working. Compared to my student years, i am mature, following rules, paying attention - i'm serious with human lives. Last time i had fist fight was when i was 16..i will turn 34 this July, those rebel days were long gone.

that's the most english-teacher-looking english teacher i've ever seen

[@ghazals5510]

bro that calculus teacher seemed so sweet in the end like him as a teacher going beyond what he is payed for to help students for an overall better future

[@angelainbloom]

I feel like that teacher that started tearing up needs a hug 😢 I could tell Covid hit him hard as well

[@kerryann9851]

Omg the teacher with the glasses… he is who all teachers should be. He genuinely cares about his students.

[@sugasheeze]

All three of the teachers are wearing glasses.

i really feel for the 1.5 guy. i had a 3.9 in high school, one of the top students and entered a competitive premed program in university. then, i was hit with a million mental and physical health issues, which made keeping up with classes very very hard on top of the pandemic induced online classes. finished my freshman year with a 1.9. now i’ve been catching up, still hardcore dealing with these issues but i’ve made it to a 2.6 in my second year. the goal is to finish with a 3.9 hopefully, but it won’t go without millions of doctor appointments, therapy sessions, self hate and of course, my symptoms.

cut producers choosing the most breathtaking jaw dropping stunning glowing people to be in their videos wow

here’s the thing, I struggled in high school and I barely made it with a 3.4 but in college I blossomed, I graduated with a 3.8 and got into the #1 vet school in the world. I feel like high school does not prepare you as much as it should and sometimes limits you a lot

[@nixasteria]

I couldn’t agree more. I don’t even know what my gpa was in high school but I know I was in the top like 200ish out of around 400 students. Not the highest but around average. High school and high school teachers made me convinced I would fail in college. I wanted to go to college get a degree all as quick as I could. I went to a community college and ended with a 3.78 gpa. I am receiving my bachelors in a few days and by this time next year will be graduating with my masters in Dietetics. Wouldn’t have been able to get here if I hadn’t gone to community college and thrived.

[@al3x4nd3r__]

I graduated undergrad with a 2.9 cumulative gpa. I overloaded every semester because I thought adding extra majors/minors/concentrations would help me stand out. Along with that, my struggles with mental health came to a head in my sophomore year. Then Covid happened and I had to start working. A few bad semesters brought my gpa down low enough that even with getting a 3.5 or higher every semester after that didn't do much. Luckily, I got into a graduate program anyway and have maintained a 4.0 gpa. It is absolutely possible to dig yourself out of a hole if you put in the work and communicate your needs. Build relationships, talk to teachers and professors, and participate in a couple of extracurricular things that can set your profile apart.
