I agree. That is why the book was so great - you could see the same things happening today as did during the cultural revolution in China in the 50s. My son is homeschooled, but I made sure to explain to him ways that this is happening in schools today. It made for some fascinating discussions.
We homeschooled our 8 (27 to 42) before it was cool. With no help from dad other than a promise of a nice car, 3 have degrees (6 total), 2 - Phi Beta Kappa’s, 1 - Summa Cum Laude, 1 - “With Distinction”, and 2 more will have degrees in the next 8 months - also with honors. The other 3 didn’t want college but are very successful in their careers, one a realtor making 6 figures.
We are blessed. God is good.
Oh - wife & I were former public school teachers.
