gollark: * bad
gollark: Also overreliance on rote memorization abd.
gollark: My main issue with it is that it forces people to study unnecessary things they do not actually like much in inefficient ways, goes around grouping people by age when this is wrong and bad, and encourages conformity and whatnot.
gollark: ALthough that is *a* problem.
gollark: That's not the problem. I apiothink there are others.
