I don’t disagree.

Who gives a shite if an engineer doesn’t know why Karen was mad at Jeff in whatever stupid fictional book he was forced to read in school.

And who cares if the lady that designs clothing for her own shop doesn’t remember the state capital of Oregon.

Or if a doctor has trouble with differential equations.

Then why would you give out grades or heck why test at all?

Just count attendance each day and move the kids on thru to the next grade level.

One of these things is not like the others. A doctor may not use differential equations in the daily practice of his profession. But I expect him to have well above average intelligence so that mastery of high school and college level math is not a high hurdle for him.

I want a brain surgeon with medical knowledge not one who understands the allegory of “To Kill a Mockingbird” and the nuances of the Nutcracker Ballet.

I want a financial planner who understands math and marketing and economics do not care if he can read a 4-3 defense or break up a screen pass much less whether he prefers Monet or Reuben except as investments.

While true there is a lot of benefit for children to learn how to learn

Knowing the geography of the country we live in is not important at all.
