ON NERDS AND BULLYING
Here are two really good essays that are definitely worth a read. The first, on “Why Nerds are Unpopular”, is a set-up for the second, on bullying in schools. From the latter:
In this writer’s not-so-humble opinion, child socialization and education are in many ways incompatible, especially for juveniles. These should therefore be separate experiences, wherein the child is individually educated according to his/her abilities. Socialization should be carefully supervised, with the parents and other concerned adults deciding which children will be interacting with each other and under what circumstances — not a government-run institution staffed by the likes of NEA members.
