So much of modern math education, especially once you get into high school, is centered around _computation_ instead of _reasoning_, so you get a lot of kids who spend an entire year doing random integration problems or charting a bunch of useless functions/conic sections instead of really understanding fundamental structures, reasoning, problem solving, etc. It's just rote computation, but we have computers for that now.
