You left out the two most important forms of education, that I see severely lacking too often:
1 - Geometry. This is actually the study of systems and relationships within that system. They just use shapes and proofs to teach it.
2 - Algebra. This is how you execute the Geometry.
Unfortunately, AI is taking us further away from the understanding of this by substituting limited conclusions for reason. The result is seen when a problem results, and it dominoes because the person who supposed to solve that problem can't because they have no idea of how the AI arrived at where they are now. In other words, AI has forced us to depend on and see only the surface of anything, not the structure of what holds that surface up.
