My son for sure isn’t a nerd…
But he loves Basketball and wants to do something with/in it for the foreseeable future…even possibly playing in college (still trying to reconcile that LOL) and ideally pro.
So we look for academic learning moments through what he is passionate about.
He also loves video editing…so we’ve connected with a local YouTube “star” and video editor,
Think “real world experience” not “a2 + b2 = c2”.
Beyond the basic level of academic knowledge, we don’t need to know much…so long as we learn HOW to learn…we will lead ourselves to the what…just like to did with computers
