Nerds

Paul Graham wrote an important article called Why Nerds are Unpopular. Even coming from a different (although Western industrialized) culture with, as I perceived it then, much less emphasis on popularity than in the American schoolsystem he describes, there is still so much in this article that I recognize from "basisschool" (ages 6-12) and "highschool" (ages 12-18). There are important lessons for both students and teachers in there.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
