The word "slow" covers a lot of territory.
I fall under the "superior" category they're talking about. I was always a very good student at a young age, but I couldn't tell time on an analog clock or tie my shoes until about fifth grade.
So I think they need to clarify a bit. Being fast or slow in school doesn't necessarily hold true for other aspects of life.
You might try to spread the word about your band by putting songs you've recorded up for download. You could go so far as to upload your songs onto P2P networks, where if people liked them they could spread like wildfire. This would, I imagine, get people interested in you and coming to your shows.
That is, assuming you do play shows.
I don't think that this study holds true in all cases. I myself am a sophomore in high school, held to the rigorous standards of the world-renowned International Baccalaureate program. I have a 4.3 GPA and am taking the hardest classes available. I spend at least four hours every school night on the computer-- on the weekends, upwards of 10. Another one or two are spent on console games.
I don't see how I could be doing any better in school, quite frankly.
YES! There are many better (and less brain-numbing) things kids could be learning... Like foreign languages. I could never quite get my fingers to type in the same way everyone else could, no matter how many classes and typing programs I tried. From using Instant Messengers and the like, I now type faster than many of my friends. Of course, in addition to teaching myself how to type, I taught myself how to write, and hold my pencil in an odd style which no one can quite understand. Oh well.
