1) Indoctrination is the correct term. Socialization is incorrect.

2) There is no such thing as a benevolent government.

3) There is no one here who has not had at least some experience with "school." Whatever you may think of the socialization you experienced, you would have experienced less as a homeschooler. Even the homeschooled among us know what they are and are not getting.

4) What people do and do not require is important to you, and not at all important to that non-benevolent government that is indoctrinating, not socializing.

This is not a system designed to pamper the disadvantaged. It is designed to reward those who adapt to its structures most easily. That it does not work for you indicates that you need to work harder, not that the system must change.
