Indoctrination into the national(ist) narrative was very explicitly the purpose of compulsory primary education in l19c and e20c Europe. Weber in PEASANTS INTO FRENCHMEN is very strong on this. So is Gellner in NATIONALISM.

Well that’s slightly different. Trust in non-family is not the same as trust in impersonal institutions.

When I went through teacher training they called manufacturing societal trust 'education'. And it's anything but unnecessary.

The trust is perhaps necessary but the catalytic consensus items are largely arbitrary I think.

Building social trust has real value; better when the mix of people is more diverse. Downside of K-12 is it is local & in the US, we're very segregated; one reason I support the idea of compulsory (or "strongly incentivized") national service.
