   I feel that proofs and philosophy of math, or at least a deeper look at everything, could be presented much earlier on.

      @zacts I'm not a fan of pushing proofs on all K-12 students. If you think most people hate math now, just wait until proofs become an obstacle that all have to cross.

         @lnxw48a1 Yeah, I don't like the idea of _pushing_ anything on anyone. I like the idea of letting a curriculum grow around people versus exclusively conforming people inside of the curriculum. So I would _introduce_ the idea of proofs in such a way to where people could explore the topic in a way. I would at least introduce some of this. I wouldn't push it though, or drill proofs! No drilling of proofs; it's not right.
