Fascinating. TL;DR: What we think of as the Asian/Confucian/Tiger Mom school model of cramming every minute of your day actually originates from Prussia, while Western universities are rapidly going in the opposite direction and de-emphasizing book learning in favor of public demonstrations of virtue -- only it's not Confucian virtue, but wokeness. Is Europe the only stronghold of sanity left?
