No, society would not be radically different. Kids would still graduate into the cutthroat system of money and capitalism, enslaved to bankers and working for the corporate state to pay them bankers back, and the whole rich lot does not give a shit about workers or the planet.

Better or worse?

The rich don't want poor kids to grow up as competition to their own children. Solve THIS and you will solve childcare and education funding.

We could bring back the breadwinner wage so Mom could stay at home. It's the simplest thing to do, the cheapest, and the best.

True. But the education they receive must also be radically different than the one the receive today.

And didn't expose them to or indoctrinate them with religion until they were 18 and can make their own educated decisions about the origin of our species and its insignificant role within the totality of the universe.

Ain’t that the damn truth. We wouldn’t have so many fucking, nut cases saying hallelujah! I saw that Lin Wood on Rachel Maddox tonight preaching to hundreds of absolute idiots.

And if we started nurturing not only the children, but the adults too, the world would be radically different in 5 years. But that would require ending capitalism.

First, get corporate money out of politics

Yes. Make clear the environment for raising the child. Make sure it's not under the ruling hand of religious condition.
