[post_page_title]Prime case of tunnel vision[/post_page_title]
Sometimes, teachers can only think inside the box. If that means they’re using methods of teaching that are less than creative that’s one thing, but this is something else altogether. The teacher wanted their students to solve 5 times 3 using repeated addition.
The student proposed adding 5 three times – which you’ll note is absolutely an acceptable answer. The teacher, however, marked it as wrong as they expected to see 3 added five times. That’s also right, of course, but there’s nothing wrong with the first answer either. This, ladies and gents, is how you get kids to hate math.
