I think at a certain point, you should be able to drop math as a subject and take programming instead. There's no shortage of math concepts in programming that still require understanding of underlying concepts, but I can easily say if I had that option in school, I'd have learned way more in a programming class than I ever did in math.

I mean programming is a way to get someone engaged and to some degree there can be creativity. It would almost be like a more topical and realistic version of a word problem
