I see the value of apprenticeship, learning skills on demand. However, I don't think everything should necessary be learned only on the base of apprenticeship. Correct me if I am wrong but I am guessing you probably did not imply this. Lessons that shape your worldview, those that shape you as a person, are extremely valuable and should always be taught. Also learning things out of curiosity and not necessarily on demand is also extremely valuable. Sometimes you can only connect the dots looking backwards.

You are correct, I did not propose apprenticeship as a methodology for learning everything.

I however think that treating the human mind as a bucket which can be filled with knowledge at a specific speed following a plan, is disastrous.

Children at young ages have dramatically different levels of development, interests, subject specific curiosities even at the same age. Treating them as if they are all the ideal child, ready to learn what the plan says they should, is ignorant at best.
