It's asking whether schooling systems in your country prepare you for the "atrocities" or the horrors of reality. For example, some people would say that elementary schools don't teach children enough about the bad things historical figures did, so when kids grow up and discover that there were and are really horrible things going on, they aren't prepared to deal with it. In many places, however, the education systems are honest with the kids and prepare them for reality. Some people might also argue that it isn't up to schools to decide when to introduce people to the "atrocities" of human civilization; that it is up to the parents and/or family.
