I'm 31 and still remember spending every weeknight doing 1 to 2 hours of long division problems in 5th grade. It was mind nimbingly boring.


Long division is also where I switched from being ahead on math to running behind. I could do those in my head and only wrote down the tail because I had to. Divisions that would have been hard enough that I couldn't do them in my head would have helped me a lot there.
