Even if all of your options do you harm, you're free to have options. Life can be harsh. I do not believe freedom means safety, or luxuries, or even food on the table. I know better than that. But I do believe in the value of freedom. And even when I was starving on the run as a new apostate, I valued it.
As far as what to teach the non-mages, there's plenty. How many don't know how to read or write, even in this age? How many don't know general procedures for injuries or illness? There's figures as well, numbers, history, things that tutors for the highborn cover but many can't afford. They can also take what classes they'd like and leave the rest, and come and go as they please.
