I've always assumed that the babies grown in test tubes and graded into alphas to epsilons in Huxley's "Brave New World" are simply a metaphor for children going throught the UK school system.
In that case the homeschooled are akin to the "savage" in the story.
EDIT: corrected spelling!
- jamiedumont 2y agoI've not encountered "Brave New World" but I love (and can see) the metaphor!
- dgfitz 2y agoI read it when I was a kid… a homeschooled kid!
- ethbr1 2y agoIt was required reading in my school.
- jamiedumont 2y agoCan’t argue with that! :D
