It depends what you mean by "Old" school. When I was at school, 
calculators were mechanical and you turned a handle to power them.

Yes I understand long division and I can generally divide by two digits 
in my head if the dividend is not too big. I really can't remember when 
I was taught it, at a guess I would say, about 9 years of age.
