Apparently not and you're going to educate me.
Yes, we need to teach kids how to use can openers. Very important. Don't forget to teach them how to use a fork, oh wait it's school so a spork is more appropriate.
I believe the P-38 and P-51 are military can openers

Part of it is you're learning how to learn.
Part of it is you're practicing abstract reasoning.
Part of it is gaining wide general knowledge gives you better intuition about the world.
Part of it is as a child you have no way of knowing what your interests are.
It's not important that you remember, for example, the Pythagorean theorem, but it is important that you're able to learn it, and understand it, even if you later forget it... and some kids will discover they really enjoy math, and go on to become mathematicians.
