I agree that doing hard things and character building has its place. I'm just not sure that basic arithmetic is that place. I like to think that a kid inherently has something more tangible to get excited about than dopamine-bomb videos, and I fear that we might help drive them away from that "tangible excitement" and into the soul-sucking distractment, if we force them to learn without regard for that tangible and genuine excitement.
