I wish I couldve excluded everything past basic algebra and hopped right to statistics at a young age - I *loved* everything about the practicality of it, how it explained tangible relationships and illuminated the world. Algebra and calculus were so un-engaging I had those teachers calling me everything but a stupid child.

Except you can't really understand statistics without calculus.
*statistical theory notice I had a heavy emphasis on my love of practicality…which theory, to me, is not.
