    What if the primary purpose of schooling is neither education, nor babysitting, nor incarceration, but consensus creation on a bunch of unnecessary matters in order to manufacture societal trust? 🤔 Primary effect of all schooling seems to be creation of trusted non-family links

        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.

        Broadly I agree. But the secondary purposes also seem genuine. They can overlap or be at cross-purposes in any given schooling situation. The cultivated non-nepotism can be at odds with traditional family values. Hence lots of religious homeschooling

        Actually no I don’t. Schooling seems to create trusted nonkin that are not necessarily friends

        Installing standardized social interfaces, so that the output (graduates) is more fungible in the work-force. This worked better in the industrial age than it does in the information age, but unwinding it will take time.
