I was just like you redeemer. People never teach kids anymore to question the societal views of those around them. The point in my life that I'm going to be most proud of is when my daughter looks at me and challenges one of my beliefs by pointing out a fallacy that changes the way I feel and greater enlightens me in that area. Then I'll KNOW I've taught her to think for herself and that she will never have to rely on others to tell her how life works because she will seek answers on her own.
