I'll be honest here and say I don't get this. I was raised on the traditional method, and this was never an issue.

Hell the only rough spot I had was the whole "proof" thing when I took Geometry my freshman year of HS. Mainly because I was used to just "knowing the answer" and having to write out the proof pissed me off.

It all depends on how you approach it I guess. Its not as if you can't truly learn math in our system. Its just that you can get by on strict rote memorization and practice all the way through calculus 1. Once that is no longer an option a lot of people are screwed.
