      - There probably isn't any point to teaching Math in a structured way before age 10. Maybe even age 13.

      - Memorizing poetry & literature passages is underrated. Especially at younger ages-- because what else are you going to do? A 5 yo can easily learn & retain a 6 stanza poem in a week. That accumulates to a nice mental collection over the course of childhood.

      - Music is one of the few things you can fruitfully teach at early ages that will have lifelong value. Teaching composition is neglected low-hanging fruit too. See what you can pull out of Bach keyboard Inventions, or blues or pop progressions, or whatever.

      - For teaching Science to kids, chronologically presenting a field's historical development is good --- you build from low to high complexity, many of the early experiments are memorable & replicable with minimal equipment, & weaving the history in makes it stick.

      - Teach drawing & painting, but not in some unstructured "express yourself" way. Do you not wish you had more technical drawing chops? Would you enjoy a painting class as an adult? Get the foundation as a kid, when there arent better uses of your time.

      - Teaching the bible is worthwhile and underrated. Secular people hardly bother anymore. But the stories are wise & beautiful, and much of western lit presupposes familiarity. High payoff for effort invested.

      - History? I honestly do not know. The payoff here doesn't happen until you're far down into the weeds, reading something close to primary sources, which is beyond kids. Provide them a sparse chronological armature, to be filled in later? Seems boring.

      Replying to @AngloRemnant

      History is also a series of fun and interesting stories. If my parents had told me about Peter the Great when I was six, I would have found it riveting. Blood and guts, cool toys, but also interpersonal drama.
