Okay so I just wanted to put this theory out here and see what you guys think.

So my theory is that people from disadvantaged backgrounds usually will be smarter than those of the middle or upper class. Smarter by means of GPA and harder classes etc. This is due to them not having much so they will work for things so that they too can have a comfortable life. Also those of the middle and upper classes don’t really have to work TOO hard for things. They will have food and shelter essentially no matter what.

For example in the Lifetime Movie Homeless to Harvard the girl got those things cuz she was poor and she worked hard. There are also countless other examples like this.

Also usually you will see a lot of smart foreign students. It’s because they don’t have the luxuries that people here do so work to get it.

Just to clarify for some I’m not saying that the people of the middle class or upper classes aren’t smart.

So that’s my theory. Any comments?
