I do not know which educational system the author is referring to but there are aspects to this that ring true concerning education in America- both in terms of what happens in many high schools and then what students come to expect when they enter college (and in some cases are unpleasantly shocked, but in other cases have their expectations fulfilled). And I think i can identify some of the literature(s) that influenced the writer. IN my opinion though, the ideas are not new, nor do they really tell the full complex story of education.
