I guess I don't get it- unless the children were forced (by being plucked) and the families were told they must accept this option, I don't get the "cruel experiment". It strikes me as a welcome quality for a PM to be well read and well educated and to be an advocate for the educational opportunities of others.
I often read through this type of critique with a lens of existential depression in my mind. Would he have resented a classroom full of people who were not well read, highly motivated and had an educational focus? Was he doomed to be unsatisfied regardless of his educational setting?
Perhaps the program should have also had a SENG counselor on staff. It appears that may have alleviated some of the pressure.
