[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My opdest is a nerd, but fcps is a great place to be a nerd.  It is the mothership calling home all thenerds.

My younger two are smart, but happen to have befriended more of the "cool" jock type kids.  I think it is harder to be a cool/smart kid around here.  Right around late elementary school that circle starts disparaging smart kids or kids who do really well in school. My second has mentioned that several of his jock buddies have started making comments about how school is stupid, smart kids are not fun to hang out with, not to be too smart or you will get made fun of, etc.

I think it is harder to be yourself around here when you hang with the cool or jock kids. The geeks in general seek to be more accepting.[/quote]

I'm at Robinson, am in with a group of kids who, like me, are cult worshippers of nerd culture, and we have really strong quiz bowl, magic club, etc.

There are lots of us, and it's fun to be around like-minded people

That said, it's very hard to get advanced instruction and me and most of my nerd friends are bored to tears in class[/quote]
