I think, especially later in their school education, far too much emphasis gets put on the sciences, and not enough on the arts and humanities. I was never any good at sciences (dear lord did I try so hard, and fail so hard), but I got good marks in all my other subjects, especially English and History. I always felt, however, that too much stress was put on the sciences, and that people who were really clever were good at those subjects, and the humanities were just worthless drivel.
What I would love is if schools would introduce more about the philosophy of learning. Obviously not say to young children `you can learn as much or as little as you want` more like get them to know that learning is interesting and entertaining, and not just about exams and fulfilling criteria. I didn't learn that until I was in my last two years of highschool, but it made everything so much more worth while ^^
