Talk about making math needlessly complicated and inefficiently time consuming. This reminds of the jargon that ends up getting into most professions, but I would bet that if there were real competition in education, it would be much harder for these inefficient teaching methods to take root.

I would have to disagree. Most people that are fast at math use the 2nd approach she talks about. This is similar to the algorithm that calculators use.
