26. It disturbs and annoys me that algebra is referred to as "higher-level math"

I learned basic (or "elementary") algebra in 7th and 8th grade, and found it pretty easy. I know people have different levels of aptitude, but algebra really isn't very complicated.

Most kids should be able to deal with fundamental concepts like variables and constants at that age.
