Even if it means being satisfied with remedial math and then be experts at art or literature or history.

There really not much sense in being good at history or literature. It doesn't matter that much to help you getting things done as an adult.
Being able to write well is much more important than interpreting a poem.
English classes in school shouldn't focus on literature but on writing.
I think it's very unfortunate that English classes want to prepare you for getting a degree in English, math classes want to prepare you for getting a degree in math and biology classes want to prepare you for getting one in biology instead of teaching the stuff out of their subject that useful to everyone.
