Trying to teach stats before calculus is probably a non-starter.  Kids should be exposed to stats earlier, sure, but that's realistically more of a comp-sci topic for 90% of applications, and you can't teach stats-as-math without calculus.

In any case trig is the worse gate-keeping subject imo.  How tf are we still using the classic names for "sin cos tan" etc instead of something usefully descriptive?  Most kids abandon math long before they even attempt calc.
