Why is it that the best athletes are worshiped, the best singers, the best musicians, the best artists, the best authors, but those who are the most intellegent are beat upon in school?
Waaaaaaay back in my HS years, the guys in Band got beat up too. And NO guy after freshman year ever, ever - took "Art".
okay, we really didn't "beat them", just harassed the 'heck' out of them. And yeah a few of 'smart ones' did do Algebra homework for 'others' - at least that was the rumor.
Envy. Lack of organization.
A group of not-so-smarts organize to take the smart ones down
Large scale this was done in Russia and China.
