"High school math and language have not changed."

How these are "taught," especially at the lower levels, have undergone wild gyrations in the US. Milestones include the 1930 start of the campaign to stop teaching phonics which many if not most people need (and if you don't learn how to read, it's game over), and in 1955 the publication of _Why Johnny Can't Read_ calling this out. _It's still being fought._

I've not studied the history of teaching math so much, but there's lots of notorious examples like "new math" back in the day, "rainforest math," and truly bizarre Common Core math most recently.

For a general contemporary example of another problem, Oakland, CA, historically a very bad city, had an effective enough curriculum, which was recently thrown out because the teachers didn't like using it.

For your strategy to work, not only would the books have to have avoided being pulped ("recycled paper!!!") instead of expensively stored, they'd have to be from the right periods if Sweden had its own story similar to the US.

Another drivers I'm sure of the computerization, and something will make your approach fail without a very hard core "you will learn Swedish NOW!" approach which sounds unlikely. and very hard for older migrant children or "children," is the radical demographic change. Foreign or effectively so children > 20%, up to 28% in 2010 per Brave AI, .
