I thought this was interesting since I am of the belief that this will lead to some parents concluding that education should be more about specialization instead of knowing advanced levels in every subject.

Let a child specialize in Math, Science, History or whatever. It would only help them more to get a job in a chosen field and they would probably be better prepared for say, Computer Geekiness jobs if they studied more math, or a lawyer who studied history and law for instance.
