I cannot.

I can only make observations that Hegel's writings on education mirror the realities of U.S. public (and most private) schools -- if only because he was a teacher in the "Prussian System," (itself, a reactionary thing born of Frederick William III's loss of face from losing to Napoleon) and thus his views were molded by his culture and the time he lived in.

I don't think Hegel really had any say in the matter -- or was that popular (or even heard of) among policymakers of the 19th and 20th centuries. Only that he is a window into the soul (or rather its destruction) of his nation at the time.
