Fiction thinks that tough schoolwork is the greatest thing ever to a nerd. They go beyond the mere Bookworm in that they live for pop quizzes, midterms, and final exams. Not that they are enthusiastic about subjects they are interested in, but tough work is awesome on its own. Basically, they are portrayed as the bizarro student. Having an extra day of school to these guys is like having a day off from school to everyone else. These nerds commonly suffer from Opinion Myopia, and will be baffled at why their fellow classmates aren't acting like they're meeting a rock star. "Why do you guys look so down? We're having a pop quiz on calculus! Isn't that great?!" Heck, some nerds might even find these nerds too nerdy. Is this Truth in Television? Somewhat. Again, people will be glad to learn about things that interest them (especially if they are going for higher college degrees) but there's a difference between being interested in learning calculus, and acting like a pop quiz on calculus is like meeting a rock star. Then too, a nerd might like to learn but absolutely loathe having to learn in a school setting with work and people. It can also be true with children who are especially gifted. Many schools are incredibly reluctant to let gifted students skip a grade, even when they really should. For those kids, this can be frustrating in a "has the keys to a Ferrari, but forced to ride a tricycle" way. When they get to something more their speed, it can be downright refreshing. There's also the ones who're enjoying it because they get to show off and make themselves look better than their less nerdy peers. Compare Proud to Be a Geek. Contrast Brilliant, but Lazy. Many a Stereotypical Nerd have this trait. It might be caused by It's Easy, So It Sucks! just applied to school work. If other students assume this trope is true, they might end up trying to use the nerd as a Homework Slave. Examples |

The Simpsons Martin Prince has been shown to be like this from time to time, enjoying getting homework and pop quizzes. On more than one occasion he has reminded the teacher about the test or big homework assignment that she was going to give. Lisa Simpson also does this from time to time. In one episode the school has to shut down, and by the time Lisa gets home she is hysterical due to withdrawal. She immediately takes out an emergency kit she keeps under the couch, which contains a picture of Spingfield Elementary and a tape recording of a teacher yelling at students. However, despite her love of school, she doesn't really like tough schoolwork. One episode has her moved up a grade, where she realizes that she'd rather be the smartest kid in class and get perfect grades on work that's too easy for her than actually be challenged intellectually and get merely average or above-average grades. From episode "Lisa the Skeptic": |

In Harry Potter, Hermione shows this to varying degrees. She was more afraid of being expelled than dying. She says "oh no" when she hears that all tests have been canceled as a school treat. A boggart also reveals her worst fear is being told she failed all her studies, and in one year used a time travel device all so she could take more classes. However, that ends up being too much even for her as that, coupled with Harry and Ron not speaking to her after a fight, causes her to get overwhelmed. | |

Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Amy Santiago was this as a child and kept the attitude as an adult. Among other things she gets positively gleeful at the notion of filling out paperwork, considers wading through incomprehensible bureaucracy to get a permit to be a "kick-ass assignment", and being quizzed is one of her turn-ons. | |

Angel Moxie: Riley is this. As seen in the picture, she cheers upon being told the class is focusing on more advanced calculus. At least part of that was due to the previous teacher treating middle schoolers like a kindergarten class and teaching them the most basic of basics, which drove Riley up the wall (though for this very reason). | |

When told "Because you care about your education." One of the nerds responds "Nerd Myth! Nerd Myth! Deep down Nerds like to party!" Then they all leave the classroom followed by pretty girls who say "Nerds are better than nothing." | |

Recess: For Gretchen, college level mathematics are like kickball. This trope ends up saving the day in the Crossover episode with Lilo & Stitch: The Series. The Recess Gang (plus Miss Finster) win a trip to Hawaii and cross paths with Lilo, who's trying to hunt down the Experiment of the Week: Experiment 285, or Lax, a creature that fires a beam which instantly makes people so relaxed that they lose all concern about everything and focus exclusively on having fun. This causes trouble when Big Bad Dr. Hamsterviel is plotting to attack the islands with a giant laser cannon in space; the kids and Stitch work to stop him, but one by one fall prey to Lax and stop caring about the mission. Gretchen is all set to reprogram the cannon when she is finally hit with Lax's beam...and, after a brief sigh, immediately gets back to work. That's right—doing advanced-level calculus and trigonometry is her definition of relaxation! |

Averted with The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius. He is highly intelligent and gets the highest grades in his class, but he's built some inventions to skip school like a patch that makes you sick as long as you keep it on and a machine to create snow days. Also, the prospect of being stuck in Summer School sound awful to him. Although, it's entirely possible that he dislikes school because elementary school is so unchallenging that it bores the heck out of him, and he is very enthusiastic about the opportunity to study at a prestigious college. Like most things in the show, it is very much Depending on the Writer. During the college episode, he finds that he's only above average instead of being unique, several other students possessing jetpack backpacks to the point where a rack to hold them is installed in the classroom Jimmy arrives at. He still is able to answer questions with ease until one of his classmates starts sabotaging his work out of envy. After he manages to save the class from said classmate's destructive science project based off his work, the dean offers Jimmy a professorship, but he turns it down. As he explains, his school's lacking curriculum compared to his intelligence gives him inspiration for most of his inventions. |

Averted with Daria, who is extremely intelligent and nerdy (to levels suggesting a mental disorder of ambiguous nature), but is generally pretty lazy. There was, however, one episode where the class got to vote on a field trip to the mall and a "weekly surprise quiz," with her and her friend Jane voting for the latter. She probably would have called it the lesser of two evils, though. | |

In Foxtrot, Jason is portrayed as a super-nerd who loves doing math and science homework, often doing his older siblings' homework for fun (and money). In one strip, Jason does his math final exam in literally the last minute. He does this because "what's a final exam without a bit of pressure?" In another, he gleefully expresses his joy at the tough problems in math class... and in the next panel, he's being targeted by everyone in the class during dodgeball, reflecting there needs to be a switch in the order of his classes. In yet another strip, Jason has a nightmare where his final exam for the year is a single sheet of paper covered in first-grade level arithmetic problems, the answers are printed on the back, and then his teacher decides to just give everyone an A on it before he can even start. "AAAAAAAAAAA!" Like most nerds in fiction, Jason has little to no understanding of people, and assumes that the other students in his class share his love of tough schoolwork - and is always genuinely surprised to discover the opposite is true. In one strip, he sits at his desk on the first day of school with an ear-to-ear grin, freshly-sharpened pencil, and calculator as Ms. O'Malley discovers that he has written "Give really hard math test" on her agenda for the day; after being rescued from the resulting angry mob, he exclaims, "It's been three months! You'd think everyone would want one!" In a more recent strip, Eileen asks Jason what they did in class while she was absent yesterday. Jason tells her they finished chapter 12, and Eileen remarks that it's a good thing she did that at home, just to be safe. Then Jason tells her that they also finished chapter 13, and Eileen gives the same answer again. This goes on until Jason gives up and remarks that it's no fun trying to prank her. |

Spider-Man: Peter Parker was a mild example of this in his high school days. In fact, Flash Thompson once used Peter's overachiever tendencies to explain why he picked on him in high school (keep in mind that this conversation took place at a time when Peter and Flash had been friends for years). | |

Alex of Modern Family would rather do homework than work on her Halloween costume or even attend her own Sweet Sixteen. Discussed in later series, as her mother in particular comes to realise that she's actually putting herself through an incredible amount of strain, which results in her having to see a therapist. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Twilight Sparkle so enjoyed reading and studying that when we meet her in the first episode of the series she prefers to do so at the exclusion of socializing. In "Lesson Zero", she states that doing homework is one of the things she did with her doll; PRETENDING to do homework even. In "Spike at Your Service", Twilight practically salivates at the prospect of her latest assignment: reading a dozen books in a single weekend. | |

There are also definite signs of this in Artemis Fowl, where one quote says he hacked a school computer to make the tests harder. Then again, he knows more than the teachers there so that was probably a joke more than anything else. | |

Dexter's Laboratory: Dexter not only looks forward to hard tests, but is so proud of being in school and being a genius that he was a Teacher's Pet until Mandark comes along and gives him a rival. Mandark also enjoys the tests and challenging work. | |
