no math before ~11yo because math that is taught in the first several grades is trivial and, instead of spending years on it, the children should do something they are good at (learning languages) and then learn it all in like 2 weeks when they're ready
hm.. this isn't coming from gearing toward them being a mathematician, but it is coming from gearing toward them being able to "theorize seriously" in some general sense, like be able to see deeper into things than the intuitions we develop naturally. maybe we differ in that goal

why do you believe that learning math would help to theorize in some general sense better than playing Civilization or Europa Universalis?

maybe "learning" math is not the right name for what i have in mind; being taught math would probably be worse than Civ/AOE/etc played "seriously for fun" (like, serious AOE people actually do math and experiments and theory to get good build orders, tactics, etc).
