[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends on where you live. A friend of mine taught middle school in a rural, blue collar area. The kids made fun of her for being smart! It may be better if you move. [/quote] In my school in the 90’s I was definitely the smart one when it wasn’t cool. I was also shy, so that didn’t help. I think it really depends on the environment, but in the DC area schools it’s usually not a liability. Even now as an adult I feel like such a nerd and it’s hard not to let that show (I just like nerdy things).[/quote]
