my opinion is that our society is much too atomized and much too dominated by institutions (which have largely rotted and become corrupt and ineffectual). if I was brewing up a solution from scratch it would involve training parents to be better parents.

heh that should work about as well as mandatory ethics training and if parents don't show up what will you do? take away their kids?

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.

well so far the Community has in its wisdom elected to put kids in solitary confinement i hope you forgive me for my skepticism

two things both true: 1. current system is a dumpster fire 2. The Community will always have a vote in how you raise your kids, unless you literally go live in the forest as hermits
