Personally, I think math should start at teaching kids useful stuff that 100% of them are going to use such as; taxes, credit products/home loans, budgeting, investments etc. I'm sure calculus is useful and great, but the reality is only a small percentage of kids are going to use it so it doesn't make any sense to force it on EVERYONE.
