Hot take: "age of the captain"-style problems should play a major role in math primary education. Especially problems that have a unique (but nonsensical) solution when applying naive dimensional analysis.

for most students it kinda is already ;)
Not funny. And I think that's only because we (society) are doing a terrible job at math education. One of the worst things we do is that we train students to solve exam problem, not teach them how to use math to solve real-world problems.

absolutely - and it's not limited to math either but there i think it is even more apparent due to its abstraction level. e.g., history: learn and recite meaningless dates of battles or king inaugurations instead of investigating parallels to (current) political and social events
