Well… I would have written back and asked the teacher to show an example of *HOW* a student is supposed to show their work for 487 < 500? Seriously??????
(OK, on second thought, I wouldn't answer that because I'm sure there would be an answer and it would involve at least 3 different ways to find the silly straightforward answers….)……..
And I would have had to restrain myself from making some offhand remark about why were they still talking about which number is larger in 3rd grade?
I would also purposely have to make sure I didn't personally pick up or drop off my child at school for at least two weeks to make sure I didn't accidentally say something sarcastic or politically incorrect about it.
Soooo… wouldn't have gone over well at my house lol!
