This is what my school did. It made my math life hell. I passed on the skin of my teeth. There was one teacher that helped actually teach and she refused to use the book (save for a couple practice problems). The book was so old that literally every copy was falling apart. During my dual-enrollment (college and HS classes); I met a teacher that was able to teach math to me out of a blitzer. She made you take it apart and understand the individual parts of the EQN before she would LET you finish the problems. The mechanics of the equation were just as important as the application; which was more important than being able to ramble back theorems. I have no doubt that my upcoming college math classes will be easier for me, not only because of the competent teachers (that can choose their own freakin' books!), but because of the foundation that was laid by a teacher that KNEW what and how to teach to make it accessible for non-mathematicians.
The kicker:
She wouldn't let us use more than a dollar store basic calculator in class or on HW, but she would let us use it on tests. I reccomend to anyone struggling in math that you learn to use the functions of a calculator that is not too advanced, but still does algebra, and then learn new concepts without use of anything more than a basic calc. It makes you learn the mechanics behind EQNs.
Whelp, there went my two cents in my first post. Hope it helps someone out...

Would you like to cite your source for that? I can't find it. Don't think I like them them, I just want the truth.
I tip my hat to you sir.

Going near lightspeed into a supermassive black hole (with nothing else going in) would override many of the tidal forces.
