People with children: If your kid came out of K-12 school only knowing: 1. How to paint a decent portrait. 2. Read and Write as good as a journalist. 3. Code in 3 programming languages. 4. Play 1 instrument. Would you consider that:
What's interesting is that, to learn these 4 things you have to learn a ton of additional subjects from the classics. For example, if you learn to paint a portrait you need to learn a lot of art history so you know what a "portrait" should look like.
To learn to read/write at a journalist level you have to study many authors and literature. To code you need to at least get through algebra, maybe calc, or learn those through ode. To play 1 instrument you have to learn music history too. That covers a huge set of classics.
This is a very practical kind of education, which is good but shouldn’t be all that’s taught. It’s missing a lot of areas that are important for understanding the world and how it works: history, geography, science.
You would get some of these subjects: history through art and music, history and geography through literacy, etc. But would that be sufficient for the student to fill in the gaps to get a good understanding of the fields? I’m not sure.
This is generally our home education curriculum. We’ve had varying degrees of success with all 4 points, but I think this is a solid foundation.
That's pretty much what our kids get over here if they choose the academic stream of schooling. Plus a whole wodge of languages.
My kids have Dutch, English, French, German, Greek & Latin as subjects at school. Hectic! No wonder he hasn't reached l33t level at Rocket League yet...
Civics? History?
