In this article, the author presents a quiz to identify whether or not a person is a nerd. He also offers a new definition for nerd: "A person who is excited about learning and who thinks that sharing knowledge is cool." A nerdy teacher loves when students bring in articles from the newspaper about the upcoming meteor shower or the new movie about Jamestown. Nerdy teachers talk with students about the books they are reading and share pictures of battlefields they have visited. Students need to see that learning is not just something they do at school, it is a lifelong process that affects adults as much as kids. Nerds may not always be the coolest people in the room, but they will always be the ones that other teachers go to for help.
