the curriculum for my future children (I'm 100% serious):
ages 0-10: English, Russian, Mandarin, RTS + FPS videogames. No math.

11-16: only academic requirement is to spend time working on something you find stimulating and learning *something* + have to write reports on what you find about your interests and the type of work you like.
+ have do one sport at any point in time (whichever like most) and try at least one sport every 3 months until tried 10-15 different ones
+ have to do one skill-based class dancing/musical instrument/etc at any point in time and try at least one class every 3 months...

17+: go deep on whatever you like
no math before ~11yo because math that is taught in the first several grades is trivial and, instead of spending years on it, the children should do something they are good at (learning languages) and then learn it all in like 2 weeks when they're ready
oh yeah tutors on demand. there should be at least 3 grad students wandering aimlessly around the apartment at any point in time
