Nice one. Enjoy that level of ignorance for the rest of your life. It’ll serve you well.

In this setting, imposter syndrome would focus around the students not believing they are smart enough, given the school environment. You are the one being ignorant.

Then it’s not imposter syndrome, it’s a lack of confidence. Imposter syndrome is knowing you can do something but feeling like you don’t belong there.

Impostor syndrome is the internal psychological experience of feeling like a phony in some area of your life, despite any success that you have achieved in that area
This is a graph showing people who believe they don't belong (feeling like a phony), despite the success they have achieved (high academic grades).
