Good question.

Learning for learning's sake can be a big turn-off for kids - think of whatever class you were forced to take in high school that you just knew you'd never use in adult life, and how much you hated it, and what a big waste of time it felt like. Chances are, you are using that learning in your adult life, but in ways you didn't expect and that weren't explained or shown to you.
