I think she is right. Everybody should study as much math as possible in school, more than today. But nobody should study math abstractly just to pass exams. They should study more but only at the rate they understand, in a way that they understand.

Some would master 200%, some even more. But even those who would master only 50% would have better math skills than those who pass all exams but don't undestand.
