And worked with many students. I helped one student raise their act from an 18 to a 21 by showing this person how to guess when it became apparent they weren’t going to learn anything. Three months of tutoring eventually came down to “unless you are almost 100% certain, fill in letter “B”). Book learning ability was very low. Still surprising to me that an 18 is average.

Then again, I also know someone who pooped his pants in public to keep the police from arresting him after he robbed a cafeteria. My student was waaay smarter than that guy.
