I actually don't think Ed's stupid, he might just be masking a higher level of intelligence. There's a lot of scenes in the show that indicate he's smarter than Eddy and possibly even Double D. If he genuinely felt like his parent's discipline was too much, maybe he would put in just enough effort for passing. But to protect whatever reason he doesn't want to act smart, he'll put up with his Aunt for a while.
