Six Things You Should Know About Straight-A Students

1. We get marked as a “teacher’s pet”.
Just because I get straight A’s, other students, even my friends, mark me as a “teacher’s pet”. Being smart shouldn’t automatically make you a teacher’s pet. I don’t kiss up to my teachers and make sure I’m their favorite. I just pay attention in class and get good grades.

2. Others don’t think we have a social life or any life outside of school.
People think that we spend all our time at school, doing homework, or studying. When I tell people I run and play soccer, they don’t believe me because they think I’m always at home studying, doing homework, or trying to learn more.

5. Close friends always ask us for answers on homework and they get mad when we try to help instead of giving straight answers.
Even though it seems easier and nicer to just give my friends the answers on their homework, I know that it isn’t right and it doesn’t help them learn anything. Sometimes I get disappointed that they ask me for answers in the first place.

6. People think we aren’t good at anything
