Some may be, but this is just a stereotype. There are smart cheerleaders out there, and don't think that just because you see one that he or she is dumb; it's just a stereotype.

Actually, cheerleaders have to maintain a GPA of about a 2.0-2.5 and many have higher GPA's than that... So that cheerleaders are stupid is just a stereotype

Im 16 and a cheerleader in out school.Its true if wer stupid and dumb we woulda been kicked out from cheer cause we have to maintain a certain grade like in our school we cant have 2 D's or failures cuz if we do we get kicked out.Some just have to sit out if somethings up.
BUT there are some stupid ones but not in class or anythng just plain girl trying to get attention.

This happens because on TV shows, someone decided to make it that way, and it caught on, and sinse than, that has always been said.
I am a guy so i would know what we like. SOME NOT ALL of us like cheerleaders but many think cheerleaders are just "dumb blonds" or "peppy bitches". So being a cheerleader isn't the only way to get a guy to like you infact it can actually sometimes deflect guys.
The stereotype that all cheerleaders are mean, comes form school cheerleaders, who are often viewed as the 'popular girls.' Cheerleaders like this give the sport a bad name, and are what cause people to think cheerleaders are stupid, and that cheering isn't a sport. But not all cheerleaders are mean. I cheer All-Star and 98% of the girls at my gym are total sweethearts. All-Star girls are so friendly, and I love talking to other squads at my competitions. We are not only taught how to cheer, but are bred to be good sports.
I don't think Wikianswers is DUMB.
Stereotypes of cheerleaders aren't true all the time. A stereotypical cheerleader is blonde, popular, and snobby. She is super dumb too, and has all the guys in love with her. Shes drop dead gorgeous and loved by everyone
No he/she is not dumb. Nobody is dumb people just think differently.
Peanuts are not dumb or smart for they do not have a brain to think with.
cheerLEADERS: they are definitley supposed to be leaders. they need to know that even when they think people arent watching them, they are. they need to lead in and out of their cheer uniforms.
That's all up to you and it depends on what you think. Some people don't think it's dumb at all.
As many as you want or think look good.
i think in US and Canada 36 ?
Teachers do not think students are dumb. They may have high expectations and sometimes it might feel like they think that way. It's important to communicate with teachers and ask for help if needed.
