Agreed. My oldest is turning ten, and especially in math they have moved to a lot of estimates and guesses, which is fine but should not be the end goal. It's one of the few subjects where there are methodologies that give you the actual, honest to goodness answer, yet her teachers can't or won't teach them. They go very broad but never particularly deep, so word problems are a huge struggle.

I'd say soft curse words are the "clean" variants we've developed, like shoot, or fart. My Spanish roommate used to say miercoles, instead of the poop alternative.
