I think I'd rather we lose geometry than calculus. Geometry made more sense as an intro to the idea of 'proving stuff' when everybody's dad had a workshop, compass, etc.
Agreed, also the way my high school taught it made proofs seem like a boring subset of Geometry. The unit was poorly connected to other units and the problems I found by far the easiest in the course as we got very formulaic ones. It's entirely possible my teacher was just awful but I definitely walked away with some misconceptions about what proofs are. Perhaps it would have been more appropriate at an earlier stage of development.
