Are you smarter than a 5th grader?

Well? Are you? Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Are you sure? You're reading my blog, so I have to wonder..

Who comes up with these shows? I caught a few minutes of Fox's new show "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" last night. It was interesting. Entertaining even, watching Jeff Foxworthy ridicule the contestants. I wonder where they get their contestants - people who didn't cut it on the Dr. Phil maybe?

And what sort of message is this sending to these fifth graders - "you were right all along, there's no reason to learn any of the junk they teach you in school, you'll never use it later in life"
