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

in my memory of school, social dynamics taught law of the jungle, decreased trust

I always thought homeschooled kid would be trusting in a way that seems moderately dangerous. I think of the function of schooling as a sort of pen where you learn to deal with people, learn rules of status etc. would call the function "socialization"

There’s a South Park episode with that premise. I think I learned a lot more about how to trust than how to distrust in school. It was a good school though, not lord of the flies
