Yes, but didn't your school education predate Georg Cantor and the
development of set theory?  :-)

The biggest difference between the "New Math" and the old math is that
under the old math, the only people who even heard about set theory were
people taking graduate level courses in math. Under the new math, the
same concepts were taught starting in Kindergarten. I can attest that
it's perfectly feasible to learn those concepts at that age, it wasn't
till much later that I learned that older people considered set theory
to be too esoteric for young kids to be bothered with.
