Then again, I was raised by dorks
The difference between the dorks and the "cool kids" is that cool kids have to feign (or succeed in) disinterest in everything. They have to be nonchalant and not show excitement over anything. You are a dork if you get excited about things - especially if the majority of the population can't match your excitement.
I think that dorks make the best teachers. Can you imagine one of the cool kids in high school going into education?
"Today we're going to learn about, like, the end-to-end principle or something. Whatever. Why are you bouncing up and down in the back, there?"
It's much better to be taught by someone who is interested and passionate and knowledgeable about the subject matter, because their interest is contagious. One of my teachers keeps getting really excited about our class and asking if he's being too geeky for us. It is my belief that there's no such thing.
