I don't know why I took the first physics question seriously.. I hate physics and suck at it a lot more than I used to. I was the kind of kid who took AP physics in high school, got an A, failed the AP test, and then never touched it again. On the note of physics though, you're evil for using imperial values. I don't care how incredible our freedom units are, you don't do that in physics unless you're an annoying physics professor and we're being tested- oh ok yeah this makes sense. On a serious note, this game is great, and as someone who had some kind of pressure to perform well in education, this is impactful. I was nowhere near the level described in the story though, I just know it's the worst. Hope you're doing well. Great game!

Asephera, thanks for playing the game! Education system in the USA OR Europe is very easy when compared to us, the Asians. We have to study a lot, and that is accompanied by immense pressure and competitive environment. Kids from India from 6th grade prepare for the JEE, and most of them are forced by their parents. We don't get to explore career options, we are only expected to become a doctor or an engineer.
I have also seen several news articles where a kid is *bus** by their parents for underperforming. I don't want to share the articles or anything like that, it's just too sad man. Hope this gets better.
Seriously though! I know a bit about education and the rigorous BS youths in Asian countries have to go through, it is heart wrenching. It's sadly ingrained in a lot of eastern culture. Obviously I think there's a lot of reasons for the F'd up systems, as well as many of the problems in the world. Thanks for bringing awareness to issues like this.
