I always felt that responsibility cannot be dictated. It must be
encouraged in infants and children (positive affirmation) and furthered
(through teaching) to adolescents. So, we have lost at least 2
generations. Those who are now adolescents or parents themselves will
find it difficult to emulate any kind of responsibility or to teach it
to their children if they have not learned it themselves therefore it
falls upon the "state" to do so.
Dropping school hours is not the way to teach. There is a definitive
lack of positive affirmation for the students. They become (to a great
degree) overwhelmed by the demands, lost, and depressed. This is a
simulation of the "robber baron result". More teachers, smaller class
sizes, creation of enjoyable learning experiences, equal time for
practical, physical and artistic skill development. The manner of
affirmative teaching creates better social skills.
This must be 1 of the ways to "start".

the question of how to map responsibilities onto rights, and how to
get others to agree to this. Any thoughts?

What would that system look like? Would it include a Basic Income for
all? What else is necessary for such a system? And, then, how do we
begin to change the current system to more closely resemble that
system of "truth, beauty, justice and harmony"?
