This does not mean schoolwork would have been more meaningful to them if they had less meaningless work in their earlier years. Most schoolwork is complete crap that is highly irrelevant and should never be taught unless there is strong interest on the part of the student. I love math and would explore every avenue available to learn more about it, to someone who hates math what's the point of teaching them derivates? Forcing people to learn stuff they aren't interested in only makes them resent the subject and kills any hope of them naturally becoming gravitated to it in the future.
