It's rarely if ever noticed by pro-worker advocates that compulsory schooling produces, at high cost, totally fungible labor w/ zero leverage. There's no real reason that every grad doesn't have one of 100s of trainable trade skills to fall back on after 12 years in state schools
You cannot effectively make someone with a few years of genuine apprenticeship under a mechanic (for example) take $8/hour to do a miserable job. Yet nobody suggests that we make sure young people have an option like that; we inundate them with busywork that actively prevents it
3 hypotheses to explain this: 1. worker advocacy groups often are more concerned with their existing constituents (i.e. people who are already members of a union) than with the broader class of people who sell labor for money
2. the kind of people who lead worker advocacy orgs are too conflict-theory-oriented to seriously consider that there’s a way to achieve their goals which doesn’t involve getting more concessions from employers
The fact that I went through 16 years of school and I learned zero skills if I needed to be self-sufficient is crazy to me. Why wouldn't we teach everyone the basics of how civilization works. Plumbing farming gardening electricity construction, mechanics, etc
