I don't know what that means (and I don't think I want to know; I am at my computer and I know how to search the internet), but not everything that one might want to know is going to be covered in school. And it cannot be tailored to fit every individual, so things need to be covered that will be relevant to most people, and point to how to find more information about one's specific interests.
One of the useful things that one can learn from writing a research paper in school is that one learns how to do research. Usually, the specific topic of the paper is of less value than that. There are many things in school of a like nature. For example, reading teaches one how to read. But one does not necessarily read the very best writings in order to learn how to read. But one can then read them.
