Smart shaming or also known as anti-intellectualism, is an act wherein
someone mocks or tease another person for their critical, excellent
thoughts and achievements. Basically, a result of ignorance that a lot of
populations take and especially, something that a lot of excelling people
regularly have to deal with. This kind of social issue commonly occurs
inside the school campus or within the campus premises.
Every so often, when someone speaks fluently in English, there will be
inevitable responses like “Dami mong alam!”, “Edi ikaw na magaling!”,
“Nosebleed ako bes!” and the like. Basically when a person is doing a
good job, they will overrate that someone. Assumedly with this kind of
behavior, there will be long-term effects for those who were affected of
smart shaming. It may include peer pressure, low self-esteem in
performing academic activities and even, anxiety and depression.
That’s why the researchers aims to deeply dive on this discreet
predicament to prevent the frequency of occurrences of smart shaming
inside the classrooms since it will result to an unhealthy, unproductive
environment that may affect the performance of theirs as a student and
an individual mentally. On the other hand, this study will contribute
knowledge and awareness to students and society that can serve as an
eye opener that everyone is free to share their ideas and, that shaming
others will never be a way to promote self-development.

The results of the study will be of great benefit to the following:
 Students. Data given will provide students the knowledge and
awareness of their lack of sensitivity. They should be aware
that words coming out of their mouth can affect the people
around them and may cause damage in a students’ personality
and performance
 Parents. This study will provide information to the parents of
both the victim and the bully. They will be able to teach their
children to be sensitive to others.
 Teachers. The results of the study will help the teachers
evaluate the behavior of their students and their needs. They
will also be able to prevent this anti-intellectualism since it is
mostly happening inside the school.
 School Administration. The results of this study will serve as
an eye opener and reference to implement better programs that
can promote the prevention of smart shaming to the school and
help to create a place of knowledge where everyone is free to
speak their thoughts and share their ideas.
 Future Researchers. It will serve as their reference for future
researchers aligned with this study.
