A measure that is never taught is teaching kids about how to pursue their own self-interest in the market. Everyone should know that they live in a system that incentivizes bosses to sweet-talk you while they underpay you, that offering too much to your company without clear effort-reward incentives is usually pointless, that if you're a worker you can and should be unionized, how can an union actually pressure companies to give in to their demands.
I live in a country where unions receive a lot of support from the government, but barely anyone ever engages in syndicalist action.
