Yes, yes and yes. I know the topic and I agree, and actually I am bad ... mainly because I haven't practiced it.

Me, after 10+ yrs of programming, I had to go to Khan Academy Algebra 1,2, trigonometry and so on. It's all about practice and learning.

As I forgot about backtracking and hand writing I also forgot how polynomials and division work because ... computers and internet.

Also most of the school teachers suck, same as the educational systems, so ... is not entire my fault.

So very true. All these high level languages, frameworks and syntactic sweets got us all a little out of shape. It's time to get back to basics.
