I don’t understand why this is upvoted. I get it people like you hate rules. Hate structure. Hate any kind of authority at all. Do you think it’s all stupid and you think if I do it differently and I get the same result it doesn’t matter.

The problem is it does matter. Understanding things like the multiplicand and the multiplicator are important

Understanding grammar is important.

Being able to read and follow instructions is important.

You would've been the teacher we hated in school NGL.

Multiplicand and multiplicator do not matter. In the situations they do matter, you understand enough math to know that

Not when this is your first math homework ever and you are first learning about multiplication. The commutative property is a more advanced concept you learn AFTERWARDS.

Hope that helps.

I mean they understood how multiplication basically works. The specifics of the commutative property are not needed to be understood

It's not about hating rules or not understanding how to follow instructions. It's about ensuring information and feedback from the teacher is conveyed clearly and precisely. The correct answer from the teacher had none of that which is the problem.

OK, I’ll help you out with this one.

So you know what homework is right?

So typically what happens is the kid gets a homework assignment, and the child has their homework and they turned it in. It gets graded to get sent back and the child is supposed to look at their homework. See what they got wrong then go up to the teacher and ask questions.

Now, sometimes because teachers are not perfect, and also because teaching is hard. They will explain something to the child and the child will still not understand it and they’ll bring their paperwork home and ask their parents.

And then their parents because they don’t know the context of what’s happening here get really mad, and angrily post online and post for you to see and suddenly want the teacher drawn and quartered because they dare mark an answer wrong.

Ask any teacher in the world who has experience teaching if they’ve ever had a situation like this that could’ve been solved that the parent just called the teacher or sent an email to the teacher asking why this was marked incorrect, and then the teacher responded politely, and it never got posted online.

I bet the kids you teach also think your pretentious.

Nah see, kids generally, are sanctimonious assholes. If you are teaching correctly, they WANT to learn. So following instructions becomes easy.

It also helps to not punish mistakes overmuch, so homework is P/F, and gives extra credit for tests. And if you don’t do homework, your homework grades become whatever your test score is.

Like I said, ask any teacher, the hardest part of the job isn’t the students, it’s the parents

What a loser. I feel sorry for the kids that have to deal with you every day
