I hate how this show compartmentalizes smart people. Kids like that are often heaped with praise, and their intelligence is just a foregone conclusion with people, it creates a social barrier, for all "gifted and talented" students. One of two things happens as a result, the kid works to break those barriers down by showing peers that they are a normal person, whose good at figuring things out, or they go the other direction, and buy into the praise they are getting, creating further isolation. That isolation leads to an /r/iamverysmart personality, that is rarely tested. The practical application of Intelligence is all that matters in the end. Whose better off, the guy with the 1600 SAT score, still living with his parents and working at Starbucks, or someone else with a 1300, who went to a junior college, got a degree, and is working a solid job?
