Just saying: I think it is unfortunate that some (not all) high schools pretend to teach polynomials to their students without telling them what is a ring. My grammar school had a focus on music and old languages (not on maths), but nonetheless we had axiomatic definitions for groups, rings, modules and so on; e.g., proving 1>0 in ordered fields was a homework exercise.
