I think the way society conceives if grade school math is pretty rotten, and we need to shake things up if only to build a new cultural relationship with it. Common core focusing on intuition is actually good, and someday throwing in theorem provers will add back a good challenge while keeping things approachable.
I might even cut polynomials entirely to make room for the new stuff and do informal calculus earlier.

Math is ultimately about bridging the gap between fuzzy warm intuition and and cold artificial rigor. Focusing on either in isolation defeats the purpose.
