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:
Have you seen Tim's Vermeer? https://sonyclassics.com/timsvermeer/ Just because *you* learned to paint portraits one way doesn't mean that you can't teach it in a way that doesn't involve optics, and the physics of light passing through glass covers a huge amount of physics and astronomy.

Oh, I have, and I dont dispute you can, and will, learn a lot, about stuff you never dreamed you might. I still think its inadequate as the *sole* education, if our species is to survive.
