WILL AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER PASS THE TEST ON “ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5th GRADER?” THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, ON FOX

A first-grade teacher and a medical supply salesman have a lot to prove as they face the challenge on this atypical quiz show that tests adults’ lack of knowledge – as revealed by how much they’ve forgotten since elementary school. Grownups again find themselves in a classroom setting, revisiting their youth, as they tackle subjects they’ve already been taught, ranging from art to geography and math to social studies.

However, the players are not alone. There is a way for contestants to “cheat” in this classroom. Adults can get some elementary help by "peeking" or "copying" off of or being "saved" by actual 5th graders to help them graduate toward the top prize of $1 million on ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER? Thursday, Dec.13 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (AYS-210) (TV-PG)
