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:

I feel its still kinda poor because it leaves you with no physics or chemistry, or biology (other than anatomy, for painting) - or even economics and history - you'd cover a bit for journalism, but not enough. And you kind of need those for a basic grasp of reality.

Sure, there's not a lot of direct science, but you're forgetting that painting includes chemistry (make your own paint, pigments) and physics (optics could be an entire semester through replicating old masters like vermeer's optics tricks). Not to mention astronomy.

As someone who had all those boxes checked, none of those are necessarily true.

I think you read "should" into that when it's coated in thick layers "could". If you didn't learn those things then you only skimmed the surface of those topics. I did all 4 and learned all these things and am still learning.

I have to disagree on art and music in particular. History is sometimes made and not by having any knowledge of the classics of the past.
