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:
Actually, I think I was talking about K-12 and you were talking about college since....well....understanding an entire field like History is not really a fair expectation of a HS student.

No, I was thinking about K-12. I think where we may differ is in the expectation of “understanding” a field. High school graduates should have a basic understanding of many fields. I’m not expecting historians (and geographers and scientists). I’m expecting informed citizens.

That's where I disagree then. I don't think the end result of HS should be a student who knows every field as there's far too many to know, thus why most of them come out not very good at anything at all, not to mention most schools being bad at teaching any field.
