Every kid who is able should be required to learn at least some calculus, IMHO. Calculus provides insight into so many physical processes that we see in everyday life, it should be a part of every college kid's education, IMHO.

Calculus was a stone wall for me. I easily understood all math--set theory, algebra, trig --up to calculus, but couldn't get it. I share the blame with my teacher. Having said that, there have been several times when I could have used calculus. At least now I can use a spread sheet and just use as many iteration as required---its a slow method, but it works well enough.
