Of course we're smarter. Look at the class averages from 1st quarter for the 2 alg/geom periods. 6th period's is about 2 percentage points higher than 7th's, and 6th period has about equal numbers of girls and boys, while 7th has 4 girls to 21 boys. I rest my case.

That is ONE general case. Unless you get stats on the world, this conversation is loosing its grip on my interest.

so............. maybe those 4 girls are stupid. ever think about it that way. if you're one of those 4, maybe your stupid?

and also. 6th period has me, which kicks up the class average say 20 points

To protect my large overdevolped brain
Did you know, people with smaller heads/brains are often actually smarter than people with big brains.

Eh...technically...no. You see, the scientific definition of 'smartness', or intelligence, is measured with the brain:body size ratio. Thus animals with large brains/small bodies are considered intelligent, and organisms with large bodies/small brains are not so smart. So when you say 'usn's with the small brains be smarter than them there big-brained yokels', you are actually not getting every fact right.

And when you people classify boys as stupid, and girls as smart, you also need to look at your facts. Now I know that you may say 'no, look at all the examples to the contrary!', but that comment is easily dismissed with a single word: hormones. Boys' hormones, on average, around about now, tend to spike, and basically shut off their self-control, thus making them seem 'stupid'. They are not. Since they have such little self-control, and are thus blurting out, running around, and generally making fools of themselves, they tend to seem stupid. Girls, on the other hand, are generally more calm, and such, thus seeming smarter. But I have seen moronic girls and boys, as well as very smart girls and boys. Some examples: look at the Trig class, there are both genders there. And in math 8, there are also both genders. So don't go around classifying genders or brain sizes under intelligence levels.
