My hottest education take is that we'd be better served redoing the middle school curriculum and beyond with programming, not arithmetic, as the substrate for demonstrating understanding.

@mttaggart Do you have a suggestion for how to handle the generalisation of the notation from finite summation to infinite series?
@scattermutant Some programming languages, like Haskell, allow the definition of effectively infinite sets thanks to lazy evaluation.
@scattermutant It does, but it's kind of an anti-pattern to use them. It's a valuable exercise to reframe your programming problem as a series of transformations by functions rather than a set of instructions.
