    Conventionally attractive girls have their scholarly struggles ignored because it is assumed they are pretty enough to get along. They are generally treated well enough that they don’t become a behavioral problem. They are out there, suffering their poor reading and math skills in silence because there’s no push to identify them.

      I have also seen this. It can be easier to control one’s appearance than to control unidentified problems. There’s a huge market for fashion & cosmetics, perhaps bigger than the education industry. All people have value regardless of appearance or ability, of course.

      This was what I was wondering about. I never meant to suggest they didn’t exist. Just they must be out there suffering in silence.

      Honestly, plenty.

      There were attractive girls too but they would tend to have more alternative personalities. Goth, or maybe punk.
