It's not the job of the the school staff to make the material extremely interesting, it's their job to remove every more interesting thing from the reach of students.

And this is how we reached the point where sleep is more common in a classroom than anything else. They should make the material interesting enough that people won't have to resort to other stuff

Read up on dopamine if you didn't understand that.

I know what dopamine (the joy hormone which the body uses as a "reward") is. Since the body uses it as a "reward" if school gives students that, then students will like school

Make the material more interesting? Buddy, it's school not Qanon.

I find a lot of knowledge interesting. Being interesting involves knowledge

I think this has more to do with sleep deprivation. I can probably count the number of days I got a full night's rest while in high school and college on one hand. Rather than making classes more interesting (though they could do this as well I guess), they should focus on not completely overwhelming the students with homework, although I'll admit that was more of a college thing.
