Dd brought home a math worksheet she needed to correct. On one of the problems she had worked the problem in her own way, had numbers written down where you can see she is doing math and she ended up with the correct answer. The teacher marked it wrong even though the answer was clearly written in the answer space but I guess since dd's work written off to the side wasn't entirely clear to the teacher and she marked it wrong and wrote next to her work (what is this?). I've heard of teachers marking answers wrong if they don't show their work, but why should it be marked wrong if they show their work but the teacher can't understand her way of solving the problem? How is she supposed to correct a correct answer?
