selective syndrome

Selective schools are specific schools across Australia that accept 6th graders for high school when they pass the selective school test. During their time here, they may suffer from 'selective syndrome' (which can occur anytime and anywhere) where they loose their intellectuallity and succumb to the state of normallity (AKA the mainstream classes' state).

"Hey Janice, what happened to poor Carol over there. She looks a bit unstable"
"Oh don't worry about her, she's got selective syndrome. It'll wear off sooner or later"
"Well I hope it does, since we have a maths test next period"
