If you were in charge, what would elementary school children (that is, grade 7 and below), be expected to learn before going to high school.

This is anecdotal, so grain of salt and all that, but there is NO. FUCKING. WAY. I would have been able to do some of the shit you're talking about at those ages.

It's nice to say, "Oh, 4th graders can take algebra no problem! Hell, throw some trig in there! They can take it!" Thing is, I remember seriously struggling with fucking long division in 4th grade. I just didn't get it, and there's no way I could have handled full-on algebra.
