But as every parent knows, as you send your children out into society—even one as admirable, just, and free as America’s—it’s hard not to worry about the examples they’ll absorb and the teachers they’ll meet out there in the world. And for my son, I worry.
I'm sorry to bring this up again, but this whole book has been a series of comparisons between North Korea and America, it feels *just* a little disingenuous to make this statement given the alternative. The specter of Park's own upbringing looms over this narrative, and it's hard not to picture her child being born in NK as she was, or China where she had to escape, yet she's worried about...American teachers he'll meet? Okay.
