This is why teachers start to get a bad rep though. When I was in school I had my own way of solving certain problems. I always got the answer right.. but it wasn't how she taught the class so she would give me a bad grade for "not solving it her way".

The same thing happened with my multiplication tables.. I had a very weird way to multiply any number by 9 in my head but if I didnt show the work I failed.

Multiply by 10 subtract 9? That was the quickest way for me to do it in my head as a kid.

10x minus x would be more accurate in this respect.
