The number 1 should be taught to children as a 1D unit vector.

Numbers are simply convenient bundles (usually 10) and then bundles of bundles. Numbers are NOT their symbols/sounds.

Addition is putting them end to end

Subtraction is addition of negative numbers

Multiplication and division are "stretching" (scaling)

Teaching children to make the sound "wunn-and-wunn-is-too" IS NOT TEACHING THEM MATH

Stretching is multiplying by a scalar. Multiplying by what? I thought numbers were pointy arrows and right and up is plus because this reformer of education thinks in 2 dimensions.

No.
Not every object allowing arithmetics has a structure of a vector space or can be constructed as a vector bundle.
In mathematics it is very important to understand what structures your set is endowed with. It just happens that the Euclidean space has such a rich and familiar structure but there are spaces that have different properties wrt topology, norm, metric, measure, arithmetics (rings, fields), smoothness, Riemannian structure, etc.

Further conflating this would make it even harder for students to comprehend basic structures like rings (you, for instance, do not).

Eh you make a pretty bad case for yourself here. Adding your rethoric and all caps on top of it makes you look like absolute retard. Dont do that again if you wish to receive a better reception.
