Of course they did? What do you think school is? Just because it's useful to society doesn't mean it isn't also a reduction in freedom.

Are you sending kids to Facebook as an alternative to school?

Please don't try to derail the discussion. I'm clearly responding to:

If you have an argument to make then do so.

where you compare the loss of freedom from school to the loss of freedom from Facebook

But I'm not making a comparison. The parent I'm responding to is asserting that kids before Facebook did not have a lack of freedom.

I am saying that school is a lack of freedom, therefore his assertion is wrong.

This is quite relevant when we're talking about depression in children. Eg from looking at South Korea we can see that the education system itself can be a cause of depression in kids, meaning that it's likely depressive in our countries too (just less than in SK).
