Many kids think they are smarter than their teachers and principal. While most are wrong, I think young Johnny may be right in this case. In this fun, fictional story, Johnny feels he deserves to be moved up a grade since he is smarter than the other students in his grade. He’s even smarter than his older sister. His principal gave him a test, but his teacher wasn’t quite convinced. His teacher decided to ask him a few more questions and when she was done, the principal had an interesting response.
A second grade teacher was having trouble with one of her students. One day she asked Johnny what his problem was, and he replied, “I’m too smart for the second grade, my sister is in the third grade and I’m smarter than her too.”
The teacher took him to the principal’s office and explained the situation to him.
