Lmao, yeah I couldn't believe it when my girls told me that, so I called the teacher and she confirmed it. Getting the CORRECT answer isn't important. Showing your work as to how you got there, correct or not, IS!
And when they got the incorrect answer they were not marked against for it. Certainly wasn't that way when I was in school. So in essence they graduate high school without knowing basic math.
At least I know why "most" young folks today can't do simple math in their head, like at a store checkout when you throw in some change etc, AFTER they pushed the button.
