I genuinely enjoyed calculus conceptually. Was I good at it? No. I have heard an argument that it could be taught at a much younger age if done properly.
It actually follows much more directly from learning basic algebra than geometry does, because it's all about slope relationships. Geometry follows much more naturally from Calc 1, and then goes into Calc 2 when you do integration and rotations. That's just my opinion though.
Maybe. It depends a lot on the teacher ime. I had two really bad calculus teachers in HS (one went on mat leave halfway through) and really struggled, one AWFUL calc professor in college, and then two good ones.
If i had my way calculus would be at the beginning of highschool, not the end

That definitely makes sense
Who would teach it? People with bachelor's educations cost money.
I do want to throw assloads of money at education. Shrink the class sizes pay the teachers more, rework the curricula. All of it
Wouldn't it be nice...
