I'm 42, jocks versus nerds was still a thing in the 90's, can't speak to after that. I hope and would like to believe things have gotten better, but that's probably only on the social fronts (less social division between cliques these days), and that the problem of a one size fits all approach inherent to didactism is still there. This has long been a recognized problem with the "standard" schooling institution, just look into deschooling or unschooling.
