Why We Hate the Smart Kids

Shamyra Jones Vejea Jennings English 097 March 23, 2013 Why Do We Hate The Smart Kids? My underlying response to Grant Penrod article was surprising in light of the fact that even thou I am not in secondary school any longer I could think back and recall how all the muscle heads got more acknowledgment then the geeks. In my days at school the geeks were the savvy individuals or the teacher’s pet. As indicated by Grant Penrod, â€Å"Social generalizations started to develop as ahead of schedule as secondary school. †(Grant. Section 57 Pg. 692) I concur with Grant since I recollect when I was in the tenth grade strolling with my companion Amber. e would consistently hang out in the quad zone in light of the fact that that’s where all the famous children hung out until one day we asked one another, â€Å" Why don’t we ever hang out in the back?. † So we were going to the rear of the school, and as eyes took in the view Amber murmured, â€Å"We canâ₠¬â„¢t remain here. † We knew we couldn’t stay since everybody in the back was â€Å"nerds† or Geeks† and we didn’t need to be seen as any of those titles so we rushed to the quad once more. Yet, you need to inquire as to whether young people judge the savvy kids, at that point how does society judge different gatherings? In any case, being Invisible tails you into adulthood it doesn't end in secondary school in such a case that somebody was to design something new and accommodating and it turned into a triumph a not very many individuals would realize who concocted the thing, and that’s in light of the fact that the name of the individual isn't gloried as much as the creation. â€Å"Ignoring learned people both in both in school and later on in life pulverizes its casualties. † (Grant . Part 57 pg. 694) When I was more youthful my folks consistently chastened at me, â€Å"you need to get training, and in the event that you don’t you will be jobless and out in the city! Furthermore, I would consistently answer back, â€Å"Then for what reason do alot of football players and larger part of the entertainers do and didn’t even completion secondary school. For what reason do they make more than individuals who really graduated school? † That question is consistently in the rear of my psyche. â€Å" Why do individuals who go through years in school make the lowest pay permitted by law yet the individuals who are entertainers or rappers make billions of dollars and scarcely have any instruction?. † That’s an inquiry I constantly needed to pose yet nobody, not in any case my folks, appear to have the answer.Personally I figure instructors should make the most since they are ones who really show everybody; including the specialists, medical attendants and firemen. Be that as it may, it appears as though everything is in reverse: Instead the entertainers making billions and trillions, it ought to be the individuals who spare like firemen and specialists. I never entirely got it however what’s to comprehend. I was never into prominence like my companions were on the grounds that I was raised on being the â€Å"Smart kid† and don’t be a measurement.

My folks urged me to be â€Å"The geek. † Don’t fit in! Yet, similar to Grant referenced in his article that geeks are never gloried as much as the football players. Indeed, even thou I wasn’t into prominence I despite everything needed to be recognized for my erudition which was belittled.But needing to â€Å"fit in† in secondary school was normal, nobody needs the title â€Å"nerds†, in such a case that you are a geek then you are rarely asked out, never welcome to any gatherings or have any companions since you are a geek. â€Å"Nerds† are rejected from social movement in light of their mark, and that name thusly s trengthens through the subsequent absence of social contact. † (Grant Penrod) It could be because of the media since dominant part communicate you don’t must be shrewd to be successful.And on the off chance that you look on the web and perceive how much specialists make stanzas vocalists it is a major contrast. I am not saying all artists or rappers didn’t go to class or/and they are not brilliant, yet some don't have doctorates and make 80,000 every day. Legal counselors don’t even make that much and they been in school for a considerable length of time. For being in school every one of those years you would figure it would pay off. On the off chance that I were a child now I would think,† why go to class on the off chance that I could simply turn into a rapper or an artist and make more than individuals who really go to class for quite a long time? That is the manner in which a great deal of youngsters are thinking; about dropping out of secondary school in light of the fact that a ton of my person companions are dropouts since they are seeing rappers are making more than individuals who graduated universities. â€Å"Most individuals influenced by the media are teenagers† (Grant Penrod). In any case, that is on the grounds that a great deal of adolescents do what they call â€Å"what’s in†. On the off chance that smoking is cool, at that point dominant part of the teenagers will do it since everybody is doing it . A few geeks will likewise go that far just to â€Å"fit in†. Be that as it may, fitting in doesn't ensure naturally popularity.I think you don’t need to conceal your erudition for others benefits, it’s not a debilitation. It’s a blessing that ought to be spread like an infection and followed up on. You never realize you may transform somebody life, you may rouse a drop-out to return to class and get a degree since that is the thing that we need in our general public. Everybody is overlooking how significant information is and going for the alternate route throughout everyday life. Being somebody useful later on requires advancing your insight; not simply by improving it. At the point when you enhance your insight you are improving for a superior future; not simply yours the age straightaway.
