The course provided by the public schools no longer meets the demands of the masses of the people thirsting for the mental training and breadth of knowledge demanded by the conditions of modern life and civilization.
Personally I think a fundamental understanding of Mathematics, English & associated Philosiphy, History, and basic understanding of how the world functions (sciences) are key. The rest should be up to the child to decide for themselves what they want to explore (via elective programs in school) at the highschool level, and up to the parents at the elementary school level.
