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?

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.

I'm listening to Sapiens right now. It seems like common myths and consensus are what humans need to function in groups above 100.

Yes, no contesting that. Almost a tautological point.
