Part of the justification for authoritarian schools is that kids will have to face similar levels of authoritarianism from their workplaces when they grow older. Ignore for a moment that no law forces anyone to attend a job they haven't chosen. The premise is also demonstrably untrue.
As time progresses, more and more workplaces become more and more "flattened." That is to say, less power is invested in managers, and workers have more flexibility in how they handle the work, from hours to dress code. They'll probably be able to contribute their own ideas. It's less about maintaining the boss's power, and more about letting the only worry be that the work has been done to a professional level by the deadline.
Add it to the long list of reasons to prefer Sudbury. We're already flattened.
