I think schools should have 4 primary categories to teach, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, and 'law/govt./contracts'. Once these 4 basics are learned, then off to work, trades, or other; perhaps more academic studies.
Our schools today, cannot seem to teach the above 3 all that well, and the 4th??? Give me a break, in school, or out of school, we all deal with contracts, and govt.; yet it's hardly if at all taught.
Change my mind if you think I'm wrong, but if we went back to the above 4 areas of curricula, we'd be further ahead than we are now, and for a lot less money....

You wouldn't combine reading and writing? How could they be taught in isolation? They're interdependant.
Next, arithmetic generally depends a logical understanding of the former; similar learning beyond basic addition/subtraction.
Law is a protectionist discipline. It's essentially an foreign culture/language with it's own rituals and dogma that is designed to prevent ordinary citizens from having independent access to justice. Someone else gets to interpret the facts for you; similar to religious issues in the middle age. It's definitely independent.
Where would you include the sciences? Arts? Humanities? That's what a visiting Martian would be interested in learning about. That's what makes us human (less so the sciences, as they'd have a thing or two to teach us). :-/
