Not really. Obviously there are different types of "geeks" and "nerds", but generally those type of people enjoy tinkering and playing around the stuff they care about. They certainly don't like being forced to perform menial and repetitive tasks (as often homework is) because somebody else told them to.
- CaptSpify 10y agoExactly. I really enjoy math, and how it interacts with other subject. But I didn't figure that out until I was ~20. Until then I hated math, because it was so droll, repetitive, and masturbatory. Once I started programming, and learning other sciences, I saw how math interacted with them, and it made me realize I actually like math. I love to learn, which is why I hate school.
