It can work both ways. Aspects of Maths which are of nearly no use could be taught in a fun fashion (has anybody used cosines out of school?). For instancee, we memorised the rhyme:
Silly Old Harry Caught A Herring Trawling Off Aberdeen
S.O.H.C.A.H.T.O.A
Sine = Opp/Hypo, ,Cos=Adj/Hypo, ,Tang=Opp/Adj
It must have been good as I finished school 14 years ago and still remember that line
on the other hand, more useful topics could be taught so badly or boringly that they are not taken in
