Teacher Guess Students' GPAs | Lineup | Cut

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.

[opaltoralien]

The subtle glare given by the 4.0 girl when the green shirt teacher judged the more confident boy as the 4.0 for the exact same characeristics she displayed (pre-med, advanced courses) just because he was more outspoken and serious/succint with his answers was very telling.

[melisdemiralp]

damn when the asian girl said she wanted to do premed the teacher was like 'oh thats really hard and competitive' when the guy was said the same thing the teacher was soo supportive and excited. How telling.

[adyaaa]

The 1.5 gpa guy was so well-spoken and seemed so academically smart. I really thought his dressing sense would be a red herring.

[mostlyamazing]

That male teacher with the glasses is so wholesome 🥺 whoever has him as a teacher is lucky af

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.

The teacher who offered support seems like an amazing teacher

[winniepillow]

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

I immediately knew she was a language arts teacher. Dont get me wrong she could be a nice person but from just this clip she gave off the same energy most of my ELA teachers gave. Like her most of my ELA teachers had a superiority complex… especially the way she talked to the lower GPA Kids she had a very condescending tone.

[sistersir]

One of them kept bringing up the eye-contact avoidance as a lack of interest, while it can totally be a sign of just shyness or even autism. It shows the bias there still is about confidence being a reflection of smartness, which also transfers into the working world

[andrearace]

It was so sad to see all the teachers underestimate the Asian girl, especially since a lot of their reasons like lack of confidence is something a lot of girls struggle with. So happy she could prove them all wrong!

[taagolarts]

It's really bad how much these teachers correlate perceived confidence with ability. Not making eye contact (especially while thinking about or processing something), being withdrawn or less participative... For me, those are often signs that I'm concentrating and learning!

[EmJ.]

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. My heart goes out to her as I was her in high school and was constantly overlooked because of the way I carried myself, which only perpetuated my lack of self confidence. 4.0 girl, if you’re reading this, I see you.

[LeelynnisAwesome]

Felt my dude with the 1.5. So many students struggled with depression because of covid. As one of those students my heart goes out to him.

[Ally]

I find it so interesting that the girl who has the 4.0 is the one everyone assumed was just shy of it. I think it shows that we can be doing everything perfect by definition but people will still assume you fall just short
Also that maintaining that standard and level of grade really stresses you out mentally, poor girl seemed really anxious

[liv]

The guy with the 1.5 GPA had the same thing that happened to me happen to him. It sucks knowing that your mental health from years ago still affects your GPA now even if you get good grades. I'm an A/B student and I still have a 1.6 because of how bad I struggled my sophomore year during quarantine

[oo]

The 1.5 GPA was so eloquently spoken and smart in my opinion, I bet their essay was really good too. I relate to struggling immensely mentally and physically during covid

[maylei]

I feel so bad for the Asian girl - everyone got hyped up besides her despite having a 4.0 which is such a microcosm of how society views women, but especially Asian women. A lot of us are taught to keep our head down, work hard, and don’t draw too much attention to ourselves. I’m so grateful I organically grew out of that thanks to amazing teachers. I understand needing confidence and eye contact, but not one person validated the countless hours of hard work she’s been putting in despite struggling with anxiety and panic attacks. I’m so proud of her and hope she’s doing well.

[shortstacky]

You guys should do an episode on guessing their college GPA based on their current job. This would interesting to see how people develop after college and if peoples GPA genuinely impacts their future careers.

Talk about the self fulfilling prophecy effect. These judgments, whether conscious or not, will change the way teachers treat their students. The odds of performing well in school are against you once your teacher thinks you’re incapable or deficient.
