Children are not empty vessels that you pour knowledge into. They are individuals with unique interests and aptitudes. There is no universal formula for what to teach, and if a kid has no interest or aptitude for a subject then there is almost nothing you can or should do about that. Let them develop how they will, and offer them assistance on things that they like. Expose them to things that would complement their unique personality.
