I think it also comes across as socially acceptable to be bad at history, physics, chemistry, biology, economics, nutrition (both theoretical and applied), literature (not reading, per se, but knowledge of important works of literature), public speaking, music, computer science, painting, sculpture... Basically, I guess fundamental reading and writing (though not necessarily with good penmanship) are the only skills we actually expect other people to have?
