Smarter Than a Fifth Grader

I have finally had the chance to watch three episodes of this show and have come to the following conclusions:

  1. Contestants must have IQs below 85
  2. It really doesn’t matter the contestant graduated from the University of Georgia with a premed degree, he obviously never took spelling or grammar. (The plural of roof is rooves?  Sheesh!)
  3. The show is successful because Jeff Foxworthy has easy prey to make fun of.
  4. The kids are cute and fun to watch but I have noticed they never have obese children or disfigured children.
  5. They pick a contestant who has a Masters in say, Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics (yes, I did know there was only one “e” in mathematics…sheesh!).
  6. Math questions are easy, history questions obscure, and spelling questions are most likely three reading levels above what they claim.  (Come on, how many first graders had the word “watermelon” on their spelling list?)
  7. I will still watch it because it makes me feel better about public schools in Texas as the secondary schools of Georgia and Tennessee seemed to be suffering.
