I feel like by making kids this young struggle with math before their brains are really even developed enough to understand more abstract calculations could be more detrimental to them in the long run. It teaches them that math is frustratingly hard from a young age, whereas later in life they could learn the same math MUCH faster and learn to enjoy it rather than despise it. What do you think?

Something I heard from a developmental psyche class many years ago. Kids do learn incredibly fast but to my understanding they just can't grasp ideas that are too abstract, and something about that developing more in the teenage years. But you may be right I was just curious. I learned a lot younger and ended up failing college calc 2.
