<p>No, I didn’t say that. I do believe intelligence exists, but, between successful students and mediocre students in most school systems, I wouldn’t cite intelligence as the dividing factor. I just don’t believe that success in school is indicative of it. There are people who just aren’t suited for the rigid, flawed academic environment and hence have little interest in it. Who is to say that those who’ve succeeded are more intelligent? </p>
<p>If I didn’t know better, I’d probably have the mentality that more successful students are more intellectually gifted, but I have met some brilliant people, who, while apathetic towards the school environment, are far more intelligent and capable than their book-smart counterparts.</p>
