I'm currently on vacation in China. Congrats! You made it onto the global blacklist. Efukt is not accessible from here.

Sadly, that was exactly my thought.

Working in a theory/math heavy profession i have no idea how i could ever do what i am doing right now without being exposed and sometimes forced to learn of subjects like math/physics etc. Particularly all the things that are just not enjoyable to learn. Nobody enjoys calculating integrals or derivatives and stuff like that all the time in school, but without this training it would be close to impossible to do anything scientific related because the initial entry threshold would be impossibly high for anyone not well equipped in those topics.

I totally see graduates from this school to become for example artist. But in my opinion and experience stuff like engineering/chemistry/computer science is really really hard and for it to get interesting you need a whole lot of basics. Without those basics it's not only not fun, it's close to incomprehensible and all those students will fail in the biggest driver of our current and future economy.

That may very well be the case. But what if you realize that you spend your whole school years working towards being an artist and now you would really like to be a chemist and have no clue what you are doing and where to start and you are so far behind everyone else that because of time constraints you'll never be able to catch up. People change and interests change and school should in my opinion lay out the basics to be even mobile and fluent in a very broad spectrum of topics to not later get stuck into a self dug hole of niche education.

It all comes down to the question how mature the students are. I certainly know that when i was 16 my point of view and my ideas of what will be important in there future where so incredibly far off from reality that i am now very grateful that someone sat me down and forces all the sciences into my head (the way how they do it matters a lot though) because otherwise i would have never learned so many important things (i thought where boring at the time) and would have just played video games all day. But year later i realized that all those boring things really do matter, i just wasn't mature and experienced enough to know it. And later in life, you probably will never again have the time or the opportunity to be exposed to such a variety of topics on a daily basis and that is something i really value a great deal in the traditional education systems.
