"He's the top student in his class"
With studying, or without?
In my experience, being top of the class without working for it is a great way to wind up crashing and burning as soon as one gets to college and suddenly isn't the smartest in the room
That's kind of what happened to me. Never needed to study in grade school. Had to scramble and learn how to study in college.
Still didn't register why I had so much trouble focusing or remembering stuff until the last year or so.
