I think that if we are successful at generating curiosity and drawing students in, they end up with a deeper understanding of the content of the standards. It's tough to find the balance between allowing time and space for students to be curious and creative while battling to get through everything, so I empathize with teachers who struggle given the time, class size and prep time constraints. Hopefully we can get to a place where teachers are provided more of the conditions which allow this kind of exploration.
