Glad there's an upside! I wouldn't worry too much about what she does with the credit system; let it be a lesson to Alex that such systems are often silly and to be ignored... If a non-mathy teacher simply avoids teaching maths, this is surely better than teaching it so badly that it puts everyone off; I'm sure you can arrange that Alex continues to learn maths anyway!
