The Cascade is not taught well, if it's taught at all. It's really just following an ordered list of actions. With an understanding of specificity algorithm which is not that difficult and never was. I happen to be writing about it this week. I'll post somewhere when I'm done!:-)

Specificity "algorithm" is actually a heuristic rather than algorithm. That is: it works as a short cut, but it is technically wrong. E.g. eleven elements don't beat one class. But heuristic works as you will never find 11 elements in one selector.
One ID beats 99 classes too.

My take? Better to teach the algorithm. Maybe a heuristic on the way. Hey - I draw it out on whiteboard. Visualizing it might help. :)
