I always feel as if people who want to add stuff into the school curriculum forget 1) how much crap children already learn 2) how little we all cared about the stuff in the curriculum anyway

I can give several counter example. Though probably the most outstanding case I know is from your land. 17 years old and learned in the last year to dissect statistics paper like a pro. My 7yo do programming in Minecraft, so nope is about finding something they like enough.

But that's exactly what I mean lol. Making it part of the curriculum doesn't mean that students care, just that there's another thing they're forced to memorize to pass exams

I don't know what this is specifically referring to but asking teens to read a scientific paper runs the risk that they'll pick an optics paper in Science, have no idea what the impenetrable jargon means, and decide science is not for them.

I actually did this. Teenage me sat a history mock exam. I didn't like the teacher & didn't want the subject so decided to write about the electronics of push-pull amplifiers, transistor & pre-amp circuit choices instead
The exam got sent home

I got an undergrad in software engineering, postgrad in maths, run my own tech firm, worked on innovative FinTech, Telecoms, utilities and created new socio-economic, load balancing and health economic models. ...so didn't need the history, but took the sourcework for fun

forcing them to do anything isn’t going to help much. But does that really have that much to do with your original point?
