For real? I've never been in a class (as a student) or in a school (as a teacher) that was okay with that. Craziness.
Really a challenge to name any part of the "system" that consistently works well, for anyone. It's a train wreck, and has been for decades. Most people have just given up, and kids in the classroom can tell. Everybody's taken lots of math classes. Nobody remembers any of it.

Yes, I've noticed. And of course I'm rooting for you. But the task before you is not unlike that of chopping down the Amazonian rain forest with a machete. Another metaphor I often use: trying to reform mathematics education is like trying to reform the Soviet economy.

Indeed, it's hard to name a subject more generally reviled than math, and I defy you to name one of which more people are proud to acknowledge their ignorance. Any pedagogical enterprise with a track record like that has proven itself a thorough-going failure.
