49% of kids with IQ over 135 were failing school: Joe Hudson

Art of Accomplishment founder Joe Hudson stated a study on the podcast, likely from the 1990s, which found "49% of kids with IQs over 135 were failing in high school". Smart people may underperform as they are told they're stupid, or "they get to believe I'm smart if I don't fail, and so they don't try," he added.
