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

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.
