Exactly. You said that very nicely.

What I'm not wild about are the exercises where the kids have to do 100 "multiplication facts (6*7)" or "division facts (72/9)" every day in 4th/5th grade. How do kids stomach that stuff? I feel so sorry for them. Why can't they just memorize 6*7 etc. through applications in other areas, like long division or multuplying fractions?
