I don't think ANY education system can win.

There are valid reasons to support more humanities in school.

There are also reasons to support more phys ed.

Or more math.

Or smaller class sizes.

Unless you want to make the school days longer, you can't have more of something without less of something else, and whatever you cut will have someone somewhere crying foul.

I think the public system is doing the best it can within the constraints put upon it, and adding more constraints only hinders the education system even more.
