No, we need to get rid of all this indoctrination and time wasting. I don't know anyone who actually learned how to read at school. Maybe writing. Both of those skills are in everything nowadays, so kids simply pick up on them like they do speaking. They also learn how to use technology this way. And if any of it is actually taught by schools, it's done by 4th grade. After that it should be up to job training and colleges to teach the skills necessary for a particular field. Everything else is just babysitting and a stupid game to beat China's super legit test scores for the bragging rights. And wasting loads of tax dollars. And making kids into unthinking machines who never question authority.
