no, there would be no penalty at all. it wouldn't be mandatory. it would be provided as a public service. why does this seem bad to you? child care is a skill and it can be learned.

I'm skeptical that the people who would need to show up would show up, and that the teachers would competently impart skills to most parents, and that the curriculum would be a net positive even if conveyed also these institutions probably still exist in the form of Church

I think you're right that some churches provide some analogous services to some people who attend those services some of the time. now imagine if that was a social norm and was expected of all parents.

personally don't care for the idea of letting the community vote on how I raise my kids

surely you've heard the phrase "it takes a village to raise a child" your community is already voting on how you raise your kids in the status quo. your community is a stake-holder in this whether you like it or not. atomization and individualism are not the same thing.

if "all we need to do to solve this is completely reengineer society along highly speculative lines" is where we've ended up I think my original point that this falls into the class of Hard Problems stands :)

it's not a Hard problem it's just a hard problem. it's hardness is contingent, not essential. society has been completely reengineered in exactly this way several times within the last couple of centuries and appears to be in the middle of another one as we live and breathe.

how did the top down reengineering attempts usually work out if you think there's genuine demand for this you could market test it
