(If this belongs in a different section, I apologize since I could not determine if it belonged anywhere else, so I just decided to place it in Random)
As an individual I value education and intelligence a lot. I'm a hypocrite because I'm not good at time management, so I am not always on top of my work, but I express self-awareness to this fact.
Anyways, today I was going to study for a test with a friend from my school and a friend from another school. This other school is an inferior school to mine, and it is filled with potential dropouts. I find that rather repulsive. My friend had to convince me to go study with him and the friend from the inferior school since I am much more inclined to study alone; I find it easier that way.
I decide to go since our meetup place is very close to my house, it is within walking distance. However, when I arrive, my friend from the inferior school is with two other girls that are pretty much retarded (they were not pretty either).
I initially believed we were going to go study right away, however the girls wanted to go to the park to play handball since they were going to board the next bus and go home. Afterwards, we would be able to study.
For some reason, I felt slightly annoyed at the turn of events and I flat out rejected it as the girls crossed the street to avoid them from hearing what I was saying. The friend that was with the girls (and went to the inferior school) said that he felt bad for them if he just ditched them. I retorted by saying that I would feel bad for myself if I had to join them. I decided to leave and go home.
Was my decision right? I'm curious and I am looking for an objective answer, and an answer that addresses what you would do in my situation.

Ditching 2 retards in order to ensure you get better grades? totally worth it, you'll probably never see them again anyway, those kinds of people always bring you down in some way.
Although of course you might have lost out on some social interaction

Let's think about this - logically and simply.
What is worth more: advancing in your academics or getting head from an ugly chick?
Short-term: Head from an ugly chick > advancing in academics.
Long-term: advancing in academics > head from an ugly chick.
But consider the following:
-You have knowledge of a fabulous website known as Fakku, that is conveniently friendly to those users that are right-handed. And can solve your short-term dilemma.
-Advancing in academics is a potential gateway to wealth. Wealth is a potential gateway to head from pretty chicks.
You have completed one of the many steps toward your long-term goal - getting head from a pretty chick.
I think you came out ahead. One step closer to getting that good head.

That kind of arrogance will not help you socially. If you don't care about having few friends and being eventually down right avoided then it's no problem at all. Personally I think you should tone down a little bit. There's nothing wrong in wasting a couple hours and also nothing wrong helping other people studying even if you gain nothing out of it. You'll be surprised at how many times you enjoy yourself. Shunning yourself out of different experiences will only make for a predictably boring life. But in the end it's all about what you think it's important. Although I doubt you would have worse grades because of joining them. The fact you thought it was worth asking if you did the right thing tells me you should have gotten off your high horse and just sucked it up.
As Gism88 said, I think this belongs in the relationship threads.

Totally worth it. Wasting time playing a sport isn't worth it. Although, admittedly, I wouldn't have chosen to study even if I went back. You could've justified it as hanging out with your friend, but it's rather rude to change your plans without telling the person the plans are with just because two retarded girls wanted to do something. Were they actually retarded, or just bimbos?

It's not a big deal? They probably didn't care.
Personally, chicks > studies tho. Books won't run away.

You did well. The plan was for you guys to study together. The fact that you went your way to help them and then they do what they did was kind of disrespectful. Also, if they were serious about studying, they would have either ditched the girls or tell them that you guys were there to study and not "play hardball". If they wanted to spend their time with those girls, let them. You didn't want to waste your time with them. If they were the ones asking for help, then it's their loss since you could do it better alone as you said.

The fact you thought it was worth asking if you did the right thing tells me you should have gotten off your high horse and just sucked it up.This. In all honesty I was mildly disgusted by reading that opening post. 'Inferior'? Using that powerful of a word implies you think pretty highly of yourself. Even if that school was as bad as the infamous public schools in the crappier neighborhoods of New York.. it still shouldn't be ignored that you actually consider yourself above others. Even if they're completely incompetent. Humility is extremely important, even in the face of individuals who may greatly be your lesser.
Now, to the point.
I would've handled it slightly differently. I would've kindly rejected the offer for a game and gone off to study solo. Of course, my disease also factors in to that decision and since I'm pretty sure your joints are in considerably healthy condition.. it wouldn't have hurt you in any way to play for a little bit. You could have offered a little more conversation. Instead.. you took your initial disgust and ran with it.
Tsk Tsk.

ok 1.idoesnt matter the school its about the information and the presentation ok cause if you try to use the school to advance in life ill let you know it may end up bad and schools dont prevent anybody from being f***ed in the butt by some 6 foot 6 gangsters whom are all named after character from sesame street like elmo ok 2.yeah your friend should of clued you in what the situation would be and or maybe they felt that they wouldnt be into you just saying but if it was purely acedemic they they missed out and studying and homework have one thing which is reenforcement thats the purpose so you remember with that kind of logic it would be if you became a preschool teacher and by being around them that you would start acting like someone thier age that is what adam sandler/the zohan would call that some major bullslaha but im not one to judge im cool with bitchslapping people with their bad logic just saying and hopefully you are a nice person DEEEEEEP inside yourself somewhere

We intellectual Alpha Males have got to stick up for each other. You value your academics and your career seriously, and frankly there are many people who don't. These same people, are yes, in fact, inferior. The difference between an intellectual and the 'average joe' amounts to little more than attention span. It's not like I was born with super smarts, I just paid more attention than the entirety of my classes(Most of whom, couldn't pay attention for 5 minutes.) So when you go out of your way to help them, and then they try to divert from the task at hand. You had all right to be annoyed, to refuse and to leave. Humility? Who needs it? It's derived off the word humiliation. I refuse to be humiliated, this Alpha Male shall always triumph :D.

I remember when I used have an arrogant attitude and felt superior to others because they went to a school that was, "inferior".
If you wanted to study rather than hang out then you made the right decision, but there is nothing wrong with having a good time.

Come to think of it, how did you know they were stupid if you didn't talk to them much, if at all? Doesn't really make much sense, if you ask me.

I believe you're just doing fine. If studies are really your priority, then go for it if it makes you happy.
But then again, don't just judge people based on where (or what school) they came from.

Some people may have went to an inferior school because their friends are there. They could just be lazy and don't feel like putting extra effort into something they'll hardly use later in their life. It's not like what high school you go to is really important unless you're going to a top-rate college or the like.
