@randxalthor school curriculums are decades behind what would be useful in the real world. the ever-present feeling of "when am I going to use this in real life" makes it really hard to engage. now some of this is because kids would rather do something that's immediately fun and we have way more stuff like that now, and they can't see how they'll need to know the difference between exponential and logarithmic or what have you. personally I think when kids ask that question, teachers should have an impossibly hard test ready with scenarios from jobs that adults do, let them panic a little, and then explain how you won't need to know whatever you're learning today, you need to know this stuff because you can't understand the stuff you WILL need without a bunch of prerequisites.
