Interesting, I was sorta thinking the same thing for my little GR Onion of Juiced Up Human Republics aka the Brotherhood. Education systems would probably vary by region(since the Brotherhood is sorta Libertarian it might see it as a local issue, at least until some ambitious brass decides to greenlight this Agoge program), so most might see it as a local matter to educate the youth, and some might not be too happy about this sudden nationalization of education institutions.

Yea, as you've said, alot of it is probably going to be thrown in the bin. We won't be putting Athleta babies on Mount Taygetus to die if they don't pass post-birth muster, we wont be asking them to kill a slave fro a graduation ceremony, no pederastry for shit sakes I think I'm gonna vomit. A peculiar idea to have for the Brotherhood's more radical sections is that their graduation ceremony is something similar to the real: Gotta hunt down a 'fighter' type Mamono, defeat her and make her cry 'Uncle'. If the lad wins, welcome to Syssitia. If the lad loses… well, him and his new wife know there's only one person to blame. I can't imagine that practice is widely adopted if only from the logistic fuckery it would cause.

Otherwise, super-athleticism and battledrills at all hours of the day and night will be common. Imagine being a Brotherhood denizen, and suddenly in the distance, you hear the cries and vocal cracks of puberty ridden teens on the mock attack. The little shits won't shut up as they charge 64 klicks through the rain and snow all On Enfilade, and you almost pray a Mamono Extremist army comes invading if only it means they fuck off to go fight them instead of waking you up at 5 AM.

Modern times gets even more zaney, go from falling asleep in math class, to getting jumped by a student mamono admirer in the pisser, to hopping on the mock air assault like this shit was credence clearwater revival and you honestly just want to go home and play video games.

Man Zarnitsas seemed wild, wish we had that.
