Thought I would do a little google to test my theory about whether the
TeachScheme guys feel abused.

My intuition gets (another) A+ grade.

Anybody can feel abused about anything.

The question is to what extent they have a legimate case.

You know my feelings.

How do we go about being less subject to this kind of criticism, to the
extent it is righteous criticism?

It really is a question.  In that I have no specific answers.

"""
You might want to compare the Python-in-education movement against the
TeachScheme! project.  Software vs vaporware; full programming
environment vs low-level interaction; detailed curriculum vs ad hoc
programming; intellectual depth vs shallow hacking; five years vs
nothing but announcements.

You can guess which one is which.  And consider the harm done when
people parrot the hype.
