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:
Not to mention that a *ton* of early scientists all used many of these optics devices. Kepler used camera obscuras. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Herschel … used a camera lucida. That leads into photography, optics, light, physics, and astronomy.

Sure, a lot of new science comes from unlikely places, but your education suggestion means those things wouldnt be used for science. They'd be used for art, and philosophy. A purpose shapes a tool a lot.

I think you must of missed the programming on the list because nobody thinks learning to code makes artists or philosophers, but it does train in logic and math and probably will have more impact on scientific thought and analysis than you think.
