> My own opinion is that educational curricula are generally not very important at all

We spend an incredible amount of time and effort on educational curricula, so it's worth thinking about.

My opinion is everything you learn before you start actually using knowledge is "just" familiarization. In my opinion, pedagogical instruction should do a much better job of explaining this and incorporating this realization. I do think individual teachers understand this.
