[quote=Anonymous]PP here - one thing I think was hugely valuable that my K-12 focused on was that we all had to do an art, a sport, and at least one difficult academic thing every semester. It really helped to see that someone who was so great at something maybe was weaker in other areas, and someone who was weaker in something was awesome at something else. It also pushed us to try things we wouldn't otherwise and discover some hidden interests/talents. I'm a big fan of liberal arts educations because of this. My husband went to public school and was able to take mostly what he wanted with the exception of a few core courses, and in college he hyper-focused on math and engineering and didn't have to take hardly anything else. I think that did a huge disservice to him. [/quote]
