I got better at math after programming for a few years. Maybe, we need alternative approaches, to make the topic more interesting.

  I think that's a common experience!

  Everybody gets better in every (related) field after years of experience.

  We can't make kids spend a few extra years, school is already long as it is. > Maybe, we need alternative approaches, to make the topic more interesting. You realize kids only have around a single full time year to learn math, if you add up all 12 school years? They don't have the time you did when you started practicing programming.

Probably not even if you consider that basically half of every school year is review and relearning what some of the students forgot from the previous year. Rich people have the right idea with having private schools and private tutors for everything. We really need to democratize individualized education more. We are getting there somewhat with inclusion of technology based learning but we still aren't really allowing students to reach their full potential.
