I've been using Linux off an on since 1999, and on completely since 2006, and I have never, ever recompiled a kernel. I can count one one hand the number of times I've even needed to build something from source.
There are only three things that every kid needs, the "vanilla" so to speak. They need to read well, write well, and handle math up through about Algebra I and Geometry. After that, everything else is an elective, IMHO. And those electives can be art, music, or advanced physics. Once you have the core mastered, you can learn, or even teach yourself, anything else you want to learn.
