Good reasons were given here. I changed also my mind but there's the problem of how to deal with this problem.

Deprecating "amenity" would hurt because it's a very important key. But I have some suggestions:

1. Keeping the "amenity" wiki page intact.
2. Creating/extending pages for new keys e.g. Key:education
3. Suggesting "education=*" instead of "amenity=education" on the "amenity" wiki page.
4. A transition period for changing the database and to aware other mappers of it.

Thank you for the reply.

These difficulties, and opposing ideas on how to deal with existing tags, make it hard to change established tagging schemes. But I am strongly in favour of not establishing new amenity=* for hitherto unmapped facilites, but rather use new tags altogether, whose use can then be expanded into proper tagging schemes.

I support your idea using new tags altogether with existing tags.
Then, how about the following examples? Do you think them good ideas?
  
 (a) office=educational_institution and education=cram-school for Japanese jukus aimed for entrance examinations.
 
 (b) shop=computer and education=specialty if a computer shop provides a workshop to learn how to use computers.
