sad isn't it... and people wonder why some dumb chick at McDonalds CRY'S because you give her a twenty and a one when the bill comes to ten and change and she doesn't know why???
That's the major root problem. I grew up listening to sing-song-ey records (45's) that went through the multiplication tables up to 12x12. You can't find anything like that for kids nowadays. And their math workbooks introduce concepts too early without basics, IMHO.
