I would add first aid and relativity of our beliefs (how (religious, philosophical, anecdotal) beliefs differ from person to person and how we tend to disagree about things, but still have to live together. Maybe that's humanism?), and spending some time on how to learn (most schools don't even teach you how to learn properly). I would remove religious schooling as it is something more fit as an extra course to regular schooling but it's insane to teach children one possible philosophy or religion as if it is science. Plus like you say a more freeform exploration of talents and interests. Right now we are very busy punishing mistakes, even though we all need to make mistakes to get better. We should encourage any activity in school subjects, which includes the process of making mistakes and then learning from that.
Schools may need scores for a national agreed upon indication of a kid's level of comprehension and mastery, but I think the students should not be focused on them. I don't see a reason to score physical education. Our standardized tests don't allow for much creativity either. History is taught for all the wrong reasons (not to prevent bad things from happening again or to learn what important things we ourselves have learned, but mainly as some sort of cultural enrichment which I controversially consider to be more of a hobby/propaganda thing and not something that has a place in education). In my country teens have to make the most important study decisions/get to deal with most new things during the period that their brains are rewiring (so they are learning very important basics of say chemistry, physics, goniometrics, economy, when they're performing the worst in their healthy life and when they have problems with keeping an overview). I don't think that works well. And statistically speaking we have wrecked education for boys. Probably because of introducing group assignments and planning at an earlier age. This has to do with one of the very few actual small differences between male and female brain composition. I think it's better to strive for equal opportunity in that sense.
I am looking at some countries that use (for us) very controversial methods that always seem to work better than our methods. Like having little to no homework seems to work much better than a lot of homework. There are colleges where teens get 15 minutes homework max per day. They do have slightly longer days at school, but not so much that it could compensate. Yet somehow it is working very well.
