I was mostly reacting to the notion that thinking that a sailing trip is not an acceptable excuse for missing out on part of that curriculum is some kind of overrestrictive European nanny-state thing.

It is absolutely nanny!

a consistent baseline education
|
So, what, exactly is involved in the baseline?
In coming up with a long term plan (totally flexible of course) I figured out that the baseline (in the US) is as follows:
Reading/Language arts (grammar, spelling, writing, literature, etc)
Mathematics
Social Studies (incl. history, geography, politics, government)
Science
But to what extent should each of these be taught?
