Everytime I meet any kid in H.S., I tell them to "Be nice to the nerds, because you'll likely wind up working for one, someday."

Good advice. :)

I think a good part of the reason boys have a difficult time in school is that it is so much easier to write passive lessons. It takes little creativity to have children sitting in desks while you stand up at the front and tell them things.

It's a lot harder to plan lessons, and gather the materials necessary, which let children participate more and have something active to do.
