But calculus isn't higher maths, it's high school maths. It is very much intuitive and graspable by anyone who can tell the difference between speed and acceleration. Backing off at calculus is a very bad sign indeed.

I despair on a daily basis at what my kids are taught at school. They have a subject called "science", can you believe that? When I went to school we had geography, biology, chemistry, physics and astronomy all as separate subjects and taught by different teachers. Here, they have three different subjects for physical education. It's like we're breeding Neanderthals.
