Yes, I'm in 6th grade. I'm very smart.
by nevets - badgicide on March 1st, 2007
How smart someone is and how much they know are two different things. Fifth graders come in varying degrees of intelligence.
by Faryalo on January 1st, 2012
Don't know, but like most of the world, I'm smarter than Jeff Foxworthy.
by KevinW42 on March 1st, 2007
I've seen that show and the questions were incredibly easy. For example, "what country has the longest border with the US?"
there are only 2 options, Mexico and Canada. Mexico's border goes from California to Texas, while Canada's border goes from Washington to Maine, plus Alaska.
by R U Sirius on March 1st, 2007
Ah---Jeff Foxworthy will be asking that question in a possible new TV show.
But Howard Stern has already covered it.
by Stephette on March 1st, 2007
I hope so, or my younger sister will soon be smarter than me and that would become a disadvantage in arguments.
by Talimze on March 1st, 2007
Most of them. I hope most of them anyway. I haven't heard of any new, insane learning technology that is being used on elementary school students, so I assume that means I'm smarter than nearly all of them. Except for the child prodigies.

'Smarter' would have to be defined. Life experience is often the greatest teacher.
by SunZhou on January 1st, 2012
maybe yes!:)
by Alty on January 1st, 2012
I'm not sure. I only have a 4th grader and a 7th grader in my house. So far so good. I'm still smarter than both of them, but don't test me on that. ;)
by Anonymous on January 1st, 2012
Yes.
by misha1227 on January 1st, 2012
No.
by XT on January 1st, 2012
Yes I am!
by Trident on January 1st, 2012
Yes!
by Thriftymaid on January 1st, 2012
I am more educated than a fifth grader.
by Andy Is Wicked Married to Penal Colony on January 26th, 2008
Decidedly so.
by Highlander is semi-retired from AB on January 26th, 2008
I'd like to think I am, but in some ways my experience has clouded what's important.
by fyrespryte on November 8th, 2007
I'm in 8th Grade, I should hope so!
by 38hrsOT on March 2nd, 2007
S#IT YESS! wad du u fink i am? stoopid?!
by princessemmabelle on March 2nd, 2007
I certainly hope so. But I am sure there are some things a fifth grader knows that I have forgotten since I have been out of school for so long and their education is still fresh in their minds.
by Nuclear Kitten on March 1st, 2007
No those damn fifth graders out smart me everytime. they may be small but there cunning and evil.
by Patti jo on March 1st, 2007
Not when it come's to book smart's
Through wisdom of walking the walk - Yes
by Firebrand on March 1st, 2007
Not sure I am smarter but i have had a longer period of education, so would hope that I have a wider knowledge base.
by snatchquach LOONYVILLE INMATE on January 1st, 2012
I can't remeber everything.

by Gul Dukat on January 1st, 2012
Without a doubt - Nothing against 5th graders, we were all there once.
by GiraffeyedDonor-ish on November 23rd, 2009
I certainly hope so!
I might be a bit rusty on my US Presidents, but I can probably figure my way through it ^_^
by bandgeek6516 on November 8th, 2007
Yes. I have made the million dollar level on the online version of the game several times and only used their help once.
by mamaof2girls on November 8th, 2007
i like to think so! lol
by Junk Yard Dog on March 2nd, 2007
no, 5th graders are using computer technologies that were unheard of back in the day for myself.
5th graders are having sex with attractive teachers, I was never smart enough for that, still not.
5th graders know what time lunch is, and they get it for free. I work all day for my lunch, to want this definately not as smart if you compare the effort needed to compare to that of the 5th grader, therefore I lack this skill as well. shoulda kept mooching off mommy....
in summary, I have listed three examples as proof that I am not smarter than a 5th grader, using myself as the example. www.IamTHEsource.com
by Redundant on March 2nd, 2007
Sadly to say that last night, when I watched it on tv, I wasn't..damn, schooling sure is different than when I was a 5th grader!
by Lazlow on March 2nd, 2007
Having gone through fifth grade I should hope so.
by Lemonyellow Di Vintage on March 2nd, 2007
Some of those kids are pretty sharp. I was taught a lesson in calculus.
by Carluck on March 2nd, 2007
May be smarter than the avg 5th grader, but comparing with the smartest 5th grader, not sure .
by P. W. Pasobrio loves Marines on March 2nd, 2007
I hope so. I try to keep myself educated even though I don't have a degree. That way when my kids will start needing help with home work i'm not so clueless.
by Penny The Wise on March 1st, 2007
Hehe, I have that show DVR'd. And I would hope so, but probably not likely. Kids are smart!
by Anonymous on March 1st, 2007
I guess. I do have to thank my current 8th grade mathematics teacher though. She's awesome.
by Anonymous on November 23rd, 2009
I sure hope so.
+5
by singwell-is off researching a lot on March 3rd, 2007
in some areas, no. They know a lot more than me about computers, mobile phones and other technology. I struggle with these, being of a certain age...:-(
by wander-er-er the vulcanologist on November 8th, 2007
Currently watching the show... I have forgotten most of the math. When I told my teachers I'd never use that stuff they got mad, but guess who was right.
by Anonymous on March 3rd, 2007
Smarts and knowledge are two different things. I may be more educated than a fifth grader - but they may be a genius and thus smarter than I :)
by Yeux on March 3rd, 2007
I have been looking at the show and confess I couldn't remember some of the answers lol.
by Apple on January 2nd, 2012
Surely!
by TheAnswerer on November 8th, 2007
I'm grade 8, and my cousin is grade 5.
Beat him in every academic challenge.
The people that go on that show are pretty stupid :P
by macdjug-Paxvobiscum on November 8th, 2007
Yes, but I got a terrible memory. So when it came to questions of memory they probably would beat me. When it came to problem solving, I'd leave them in the dust.
by Kw Hudd-Vets-superquack on January 24th, 2009
Absolutely not! At times, I think I fail the first grader class!
by XT on November 23rd, 2009
Yep. I am smarter than 5th grader. I'm 12th grade.
by lobloblol is a lurker on February 10th, 2008
Most of the time. Well, depends on the fifth grader...
by slothmister on January 26th, 2008
DUPLICATE!!!!

by Feller on November 8th, 2007
My academic skills are very poor .So 5 th graders have me beat in a few areas. But I am working on changing that.
by Maggge on November 23rd, 2009
Sure you must be or else you would be in fourth grade itself. Howzzat Bingo.
Lovingly Maggge.
Do you want your leader to be smart,intelligent or average? Does intelligence intimidate,average comfort? Which would make you prouder?
