I still think children should learn hex and base 2 math rather than the idiotic base 10 math they teach children.

It truly is child abuse to force young children to memorize useless things like 8 times 8 is 64, when it’s so much easier to teach children that you multiply by one and you carry the one to the next position which is always twice the size. Most things in nature grow by doubling, they don’t grow by powers of ten.

Yes, with base two you have to memorize powers of two to convert to the legacy base ten system and also the 16 hex numbers but it’s so much easier and logical.
