    “This is not possible because…”

    This kid is never going to trust teachers again.

    He was right. The question is not even worded ambiguously. It was just written very poorly.

    Will the teacher admit that? Or is the expectation that this (likely neuro divergent) student should have just understood the expectations based on context clues or something?

      If one bad response is enough to turn you off from anyone else teaching you anything ever, then you’re carrying some enormous trauma that has nothing to do with a single math question.

      If one bad response is enough to open your eyes to the fallibility of individuals and lead you to think more deeply about where you get your information and how you evaluate the correctness of a response, then you’re going to go far and develop a much deeper understanding of the world.

      Its not a Maths test. Its a comprehension test.
