Do you think that the mechanic act of plugging in numbers into formula’s is more important than the conceptual act of understanding what a statistical test actually means?
In terms of use, most people only need to know a few basic facts like “a p-value is not a probability”, which high school teachers should be able to handle. Those who seriously need statistics could cover at a higher level at university and gain the conceptual understanding there.
It seems that a lot of people who have lessons that cover students t-test come out of them believer that the p-value is the probability that the claim is true. I would expect that most students of high school classes don’t go out of the classes with a correct understanding
