You are forcing us to make the assumption that your statement "i can explane things like philosophy by my self" is indeed a given fact rather then a possible self-delusion. Perhaps the teacher or some higher expert doesn't agree with your biased self-assessment. Also, philosophy isn't an exact science and thusly can not be quantified in exact terms of right and wrong. Philosophy is is a subjective art.
There are more forms of intelligence exist then the mere understanding of philosophy. "[Howard] Gardner identified seven relatively
autonomous capacities that he named the multiple intelligences: linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, and intrapersonal."

So your fellow students who you are claim might be "dum" [sic] maybe far more intelligent then you are in different academic and social arenas.
