Critical reception

The New York Times found it "all unbelievable and more than a little unpleasant".[1]

gollark: Idea: recreational solar-system-destroying weaponry.
gollark: > I need a nuke to defend myselforbital bombardment > nukes
gollark: A good teacher can make it more interesting, and maybe inspire some students to care somehow, at least.
gollark: I think it *is* a fundamental issue. If you force people to learn things they don't care about and don't want to do, they'll do the bare minimum.
gollark: They also have this graph of % in work/study, which is oddly different to the earnings one.
