why do I need to do this IMO this is the number one problem of our modern culture around education. Popular culture makes it popular to treat education as pointless, and this even affects students who are pursuing difficult degrees. "Why do I need to study humanities? Why should I learn to code if I think I am born to be someone else's boss?" On the other hand, many teachers in K12 and early university have no ability to connect the "what" with the "why." "The curriculum is the curriculum. The test is the test." If we can solve these problems, our societies will be much better off.
