Do not apologize for the content that you have to teach. You may not think it is interesting or important, but don't tell your students that -- explicitly or implicitly. If you believe material is boring, it will be. If you blame the requirement to teach something on some outside entity, the students will have a bad attitude toward the material and will not want to learn it. Also, if you indicate to students that the material is too difficult or technical for some to learn, they will believe you and give up on trying to understand it.
My response:
I was doing this a bit, but now I have stopped doing it.
