A parent argues Karpathy’s 80% math-physics-CS schooling idea is a terrible fit

A reply pushes back on Andrej Karpathy’s view that children should spend about 80% of school time on math, physics, and CS.
The author says the idea feels terrible for their almost-teenage kids and questions whether Karpathy has children or fully thought through the implications. The underlying debate is about how education should change in a pre-AGI versus post-AGI world, and what cognitive foundation kids actually need.
