Academic smurfing encompasses a wide variety of situations, but they're all a tactic used by a GPA whore.
Common examples of academic smurfing:
A student fluent in a foreign language, such as French, retaking the whole language from the easiest class, in this case, French 1, so they can easily get As in their 4 years of taking that language.
A student who has qualified for AP Calculus BC, but instead choosing to take AP Statistics or AP Calculus AB, as they are perceived to be easier AP classes. This highly depends on the school curriculum and prerequisites. Some schools have students take Calc AB before taking Calc BC. See booster.
A student dropping an honors/AP class and swapping it for another AP/honors/regular class the moment they get less than an A- on the first test, so they could protect their GPA and increase their chances of ending up with an A. See GPA whore

A student who takes easier advanced classes so they'd have an easier time getting a high grade in that class.
Primarily done with AP Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC, or one of the science APs(such as taking AP Biology instead of Chemistry).
Highly depends on the school curriculum offered, grading systems, and prerequisites.
Also see GPA whore.

Guy 1: Hey, wasn't X supposed to be with us in Calc BC this year?
Guy 2: Yeah, but after hearing from the seniors about how hard it was, he took AP Statistics so it'll be easier to get an A. "Still an AP" was his defense.
Guy 1: What a fucking booster. It's not like a single A- or B+ will fuck him over for Stanford. This class is curved as fuck too. What a GPA whore.

A subreddit on Reddit dedicated to estimating the chances one has of getting into a university. The comments tend to be really pessimistic or negative, no matter how accomplished the poster may be. The posters tend to be insecure, overly anxious people who have done more in their teens than what the average 50-year-old has done in his entire life. It's hard to tell if the posters are that anxious, or if they're mediocre kids pretending to be gods so they can get their egos stroked.

The Jedi (/ˈdʒɛdaɪ/) are the main protagonists in the Star Wars universe, alongside the Rebel Alliance. The Jedi Order is depicted as an ancient monastic, academic, meritocratic, and quasi-militaristic organization whose origin dates back approximately 25,000 years before the events of A New Hope.
Jedi were powerful Force-wielders and adjudicators tasked by the Galactic Republic to be the guardians of peace and order in the galaxy; they defend and protect all sapient life, never attack. The Order consisted of polymaths: teachers, philosophers, scientists, engineers, physicians, diplomats, negotiators, warriors, and peacekeepers. A level of diversity extends throughout the organization, composed of hundreds of different species and thousands of different worlds, some outside the Republic itself. When operating beyond the limits of Republic territory, they act autonomously and make decisions with the potential to affect countless lives. They were often the first representatives of the Republic encountered by new species and nations.
Jedi philosophy emphasized self-improvement through knowledge and wisdom and selfless service through acts of charity, citizenship, and volunteerism. The Jedi denounce emotions as the root cause of mortal suffering; they believe fear, anger and love cause sentient beings to lash out in conflict and impede rational action to do what is objectively correct action. A Jedi’s traditional weapon is the lightsaber.

Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the wise?
No
I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you.

Made by Apple. It is two metal sheets slapped together with a Pringle for a CPU. The main objective Apple makes when developing a new one is making it thinner instead of more powerful.
