Attractive students do better at school

More attractive students and those with better grooming habits, get better grades at school, it has been found.

A study by the University of Miami looked at the test results for a range of high-school pupils and then rated their attractiveness, grooming and personality.

They found that as a general rule the more attractive students did better, but it was those who combined this with good grooming that got the top grades.

Led by Prof Michael French the researchers noted: "The findings suggest that some degree of teacher bias is present in favor of, or against certain types of students."

So what they are saying is some students could have such bad BO that their teachers can't stand to go near them.
