I know one guy that had a 4.0 GPA. He's an idiot when it comes to real life people and situations. Very smart when it comes to things like engineering probability, but can't tell the difference between a phillips head screwdriver and a flat head.
No it is a good indicator of good memory retention that is it. It doesn't mean anyone is smart that is a fact. It just means they either put in the time to memorize things or they just have a really good memory.
No, it's an indicator that you can grind mundane tasks and have a good memory. It's an indicator that you are probably book smart. Not an indicator for street smarts and common sense.
They are a good indicator, but not perfect. Each individual has a specific style of learning that works best for them. If they were to apply it based on the student, one who cannot do well in the correct environment is stupid.
I agree I was really bad I'm school myself never did home work failed every class I got lucky with my parents my father was supperatend and so he push me though I might not have been good in school but I do pretty good in grown up life
Yes, to some degree, but it doesn't cover all the types of intelligence and it depends on other factors, besides having enough intelligence to score high grades.
No. Some people just know how to study. I dated someone recently with straight As and she wasn't intelligent at all. I could not have an intelligent conversation with her.
Nope, not really. They measure compliance to an equal extent. If you have test anxiety or a bad home life your grades and intellectual capacity probably won't match.

There is a high correlation between grades and intelligence. However, since there are exceptions, the correlation is less than 1.

Depends on the field in which your looking for said intelligence
School grades are an indication of ability to conform.
Nope. I’d say they are a good indicators of obedience.

They indicate work ethic more than intelligence most of the time.

Nah I don't think so I is showing who puts effort into it and of course you have smart people but in my opinion it test more of your memory
People tend to memorise their study so they can ace their exams! I've tried it 😂 😂
As a teacher, no. Intelligence helps in learning but grades mostly test your motivation.
No. I have a high IQ. School bored me. I dropped out after 7th grade.

Not in America. Our education system is an industrial-era nightmare.
No way to know for sure. But schools are designed to train people to conform to rules of society and prepare people to be 8 hour wage slaves

School grades are not at all a good indicator of intelligence, not even a little bit.
They are, if anything, and indicator of who is and who is not willing to be a stupid slave.
