Stranger in a strange land
I would rather translate "Streber" with either swot or grind, as geeks and nerds are more like "Freaks", "Trottel", "Langweiler". There sure are similarities between these two groups of persons, but there are also differences.
Back in my school the worst grind was also good in sports, didn?t either wear glasses nor had bad teeth and as his parents were rather posh he always was well dressed, had parties every weekend at his parents? house and got all the chicks.
On the other hand we had a couple of geeks and nerds in class ? not good looking, shy, living mentally in another world and who weren?t good in school either.
