It's funny but this is how I got through Physics in college. My math skills weren't up to snuff, but the professor's questions were all real world word problems. I recall very vividly the moment where I figured out how I could pass the course. It was during the first exam, and the question was about the volume of a car engine. The answers were all different in magnitude. I am no car buff, but I know what the "5.0" in a "Mustang 5.0" used to mean. So I knew which answer was ballpark the volume of a car engine, the one that was ~2 liters. The others were obviously too small, such as 0.3 liters, or obviously too large 60 liters. Everything else was similar. I only had to know roughly the magnitude of most of the problems, and actually be able to do the math on some of the rest, in order to pass. I would not want to live or work or even pass through a community who thought this was a good way to teach children generally. Any industry of theirs beyond a wooden lean-to would be dangerous if not outright deadly.
