My point was that we should consider how advanced the Greeks were with their understanding of mathematics, especially their desires for proofs. And we should contrast that with how mathematics is taught today.

It's obvious that "practical math" has always been the most important and first skill to teach. But that ends at basic trigonometry.

Students are learning how to do integration in highschool (not exactly a relevant skill), long before they are confronted with the idea of proof in mathematics.
