Society only raises kids whose parents fail. My wife and I raised our kids, society at large played no role. All their work ethic and values came from us. My kids didn't have a cell phone until they were 16. My kids didn't have social media while under my roof. I knew all of my kids friends and their parents. I coached my kids in every sport they ever participated in for at least two years. I missed maybe ten sporting events across their entire childhood. I missed zero academic functions they were involved with. Disobedience was dealt with swiftly and harshly. There was always a plan with regards to their future, and I don't mean pre-determined, I mean a plan in the sense that I provided options and paths.
You're a less than useful idiot if you think society enables jack shit.
Unless you're in California...
Teachers can now actively recruit your kid and legally hide it from you as a parent.
Not saying that it would happen in your case, but if it did... Now in California, You'd have zero idea until your kid was already be prescribed hormone blockers and getting surgery scheduled
