the trouble with this assumption (¶3)

grist for their mill (¶3) the intellectual bit (¶8) invidious (¶14)

see those interests through academic eyes (¶16)

1. It is incorrect to assume that because people take in interest in things outside of school that are not considered academic (sports, fashion, cars, etc.) that they are not intellectual.

2. A true intellectual can take any situation, no matter how insignificant it may seem, and turn it into an opportunity to learn something and benefit from it. People who are interested in non-academic subjects have this ability; they can turn their interest in sports or fashion into a learning opportunity.

3. The intellectual bit specifically was referring to Elvis’ choice to pike Adlai over Ike in the presidential election, so in essence the side of him that processed logic and reason according to traditional academic standards.

4. The definition of invidious is to unfairly discriminate/unjust. With this in mind, the word in the essay describes how school became a competition of one-upping each other by trying to become the most academically intelligent.

5. The phrase itself refers to looking at something from the perspective of an academic. The speaker (Ned Laffhas) hopes that this will then inspire students to write about more traditionally academic subjects, such as Shakespeare and Plato.
