No, you’re not an expert just because you went to school. This is what so many adults think, and get wrong. You’re not trained pedagogically.
Didn’t you just comment above that students shouldn’t be sitting still for 6 hours? How do you think kids learn writing and reading? It’s not by playing outside.
And learning about art and music is important for overall roundedness of an education. Sports should, ideally, introduce you to various different sports, and encourage you to move. Arts attempts to foster creativity, expression, and using your hands. Music has been a part of human culture for millenia. Teaching kids about music, how it works, about different instruments, different styles of music, is again part of expressing yourself as a human being. This is only one part of your classes though.
Nowadays kids, as I am sure back in the day, don’t want to concentrate on just videos. Like, you don’t understand the half of being a teacher if you think you can just leave a video on and expect the kids to learn. About 75% of a teacher’s job is basically managing the classroom so that the kids don’t cause anarchy.
I’d argue pedagoges agree the current system is wrong. My own aproach to these things is anthropologic. What resembles the situation in free nature most? And a pint of logic.
The reason we still have this medieval system, if you’d wanted to argue for that, is we want parents to work and children to be watched. Teachers are exactly. I think from a certain age we can drop this bullshit and give the children a more lax framework that also resembles actual work situation.
Noone in work will teach you how to do things for x hours, then a test and 4 is passing. In work, anything besides 1 or 2 is a do it again. And you have to figure alot of the how tos yourself or atleast know when to ask what.

To demonstrate this, just take a class of 5th graders and observe how the volume and behaviour of the kids changes, the second the teacher leaves the room.
