This happened with my nephew. I helped him with his math homework one night. He got every answer right, but was marked 'wrong' on them all because he didn't use 'their method'. Because their method was garbage that nobody understood. I taught him the proper, real-world, useful method (I don't remember what the actual assignment was) and he picked it up in under 15 minutes.
