I'm at Parkland College (for a few decades) helping folks navigate developmental courses/placements (but fighting the "hey, 5% of these folks could pass college so we should just get rid of developmental teaching" trends) dreaming of structured paths for building understanding *and* fluency instead of "I don't have time to teach you, here's a calculator."

That's my typical life.
It *is* worth saying "try it for a week" -- but adding: and *look for other ways to meet your needs,* as opposed to just postponing those activities.
HOWEVER, I'm in a University town. It's not an *anything* desert esp. since we're getting a lot of rain this week.I'm less than a mile from Common Ground Food Co-op so I can even get locally grown food.
