I hate that all of my classes are over Zoom now.

Oh, because grades of attractive females declined when classes moved online during COVID What?

No, I was gonna say because it's harder to stay focused.

We already know that the beauty premium exists.

Attractive people are more satisfied with their lives, earn higher wages, and

are less likely to engage in criminal activity.

In a very funny study called Ugly Criminals, even attractive servers earn $1,200 more a year than unattractive servers.

In a very funny study titled Beauty and the Feast.

Just the act of wearing makeup can increase one's beauty premium.

Okay, well, I'll add a cheeky little beauty filter to my Zoom, then.

According to the study, attractive students receive higher grades when education is in person.

Well, at least my stupid nemesis Justin and his stupid jawline is also suffering.

Interestingly, for males, there was a significant beauty premium even after the introduction of online teaching.

I'm gonna put on a mustach mustache for my next class.

This finding implies that the female beauty premium is likely to be chiefly a consequence of discrimination, where, on the contrary, for male students, it was a productive and handsy attribute.

So, Adrienne Mehak, the author of the study, said that in economics research, lots of attention is given to discrimination based on gender and or race.

And while these are important issues, there's not been much research on beauty based discrimination in the educational setting.

Oh, I'm gonna fill the gap between Justin's skull with my fists.

He just thinks he's so smart, and he's, like, not.

Cause if he had critical thinking skills, he would be my boyfriend.
