Well, yes, of course... I can imagine how being instructed by close blood-relatives in a one-room, log-cabin schoolhouse would indeed be quite a different experience than attending a modern, large-scale school with hundreds - maybe thousands - of pupils (which would perforce require more regimentation).
But why bother bringing up such comparisons? That's like saying that today's policemen aren't as friendly and understanding as when you were a kid - in your own tiny home town populated exclusively by relatives and close friends, where "Officer Uncle Fred" and "Officer Cousin Al" would let you go with a wink and a nod instead of writing you up for speeding.
A statement like yours is not generalizable, and thus does not contribute to the conversation.
