Schooling is about picking up the skills to learn. Not packing you with knowledge like a hard drive. Well it should be.
As for teaching kids to swim or other sports. Would health and safety rules and litigation have anything to do with the lack of it today? I know in the UK it's made schools very wary. As the kids get fatter and fatter.
