Basically, children need to learn how to be part of society. This includes such basics as courtesy, respect, cooperation etc...
These things are best learned from experience. Taking a manners class, for example, won't have much impact if the majority of your time is spent with people who are indifferent to such things(other children).
One thought is to have a citizen certification program where an individual becomes officially an adult with full participatory rights or whatever. This could be used to encourage independant study of whatever basics society desires.
