selective syndrome 

Selective schools are schools where certain 6th graders are chosen based on their selective test results. During their time in a selective school, they may suffer 'selective syndrome' which is when they loose their state of intellectuality (sometimes go insane, similar to being high/drunk) and become, what mainstream people call, 'normal' students.
"Hey Janice, what happened to 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, hopefully"
"Well I hope it does since we have a maths test next period"
