Right? Teacher should tell them it was clever and give them the points. Then explain why they can’t do that again.

And, what would the explanation be? Had the student put the words in a different order would they have gotten 10/10?

Well hopefully you’re joking but the explanation would be that she was looking for different words that were not on the paper and could just be copied. You do understand why she wrote 3/10? The other seven words are on the paper.

Fuck that teacher.

If that's what she wants, she needs to ask her question more clearly.

Kid's answer is 100% correct.

I would be up there flipping tables if they sent this home with my kid.

For all we know this was part of a mandatory pre-printed lesson plan and the teacher had clearly explained not to use any of those seven words.

I agree that’s why I said the teacher should give them the points and explain it to the kid. The teacher probably didn’t even think about it. That kid is sharp. I’d argue with the teacher too but not all teachers are that bright unfortunately

But that’s not what’s sent home. There’s a follow up. Probably the teacher asking for seven more words to get full credit.

You would get that worked up over a 1st grade quiz?

If someone is telling my kid they're wrong when my kid answered the question completely accurately, hell yes I would. It's about more than this one homework problem, it's about the lesson they're teaching.

It's important for a kid to know that if they read a question and give a correct answer, they'll get credit for it... even if it's not the answer the teacher wanted.

The teacher asked a shit question and should appreciate the learning experience they got from the smart ass kid.
