I think core subjects teaching the 'nuts n' bolts' should be compulsory as a base and not be diluted or even replaced. Then all the rest can be laid on top and given as options if students have the time or metal capacity to fit more in.
I've always taught my boy what I learnt at the age I learnt it and I'm doing the same with my daughter. Never stopped them from learning other things or whatever the school taught them but they always could do it 'the other way' as well and fall back on the basics.
I feel that unfortunately a lot more relies on parents nowadays to complement and do the right thing, not leaving it all to the schools. The days were you'd just send your kids to school and expect them to learn something useful and practical are getting counted IMHO.
