Education cannot be optimal because it cannot be individual. Whatever you do you ll leave some behind. At first sight I d tend to agree with you, but the disjointed education I had in a French school, where each subject is its own universe made me less utilitarist, made me accept philosophy and chemistry dont work in concert to make me a better tool but instead broaden my horizon to let me think on several modes.
If I speak english today it s not because it was deemed useful to understand computers when I was 12, it s because it was its own little science, important because of its own beauty.
Sometimes, you have to make kids understand there is no optimum or rule, just the joy of knowing more things.

But you can teach kids so that their kmowledge is more interconnected, less of it is forgotten, more of it is applied in later life. Even more importantly, you can teach kids how to learn, and why to learn.
