  Valuable lesson learned, trust yourself instead of authority ( I hope at least that was it and not start of self doubting ever after)

  This kid is never going to trust teachers again.

  If one bad response is enough to turn you off from anyone else teaching you anything ever, then you’re carrying some enormous trauma that has nothing to do with a single math question.

  If one bad response is enough to open your eyes to the fallibility of individuals and lead you to think more deeply about where you get your information and how you evaluate the correctness of a response, then you’re going to go far and develop a much deeper understanding of the world.

    But those things stick. I did a geography test 35 years ago and wrote Canada instead of Kanada wich which is the correct spelling in German. In the eyes of my teacher I answered the question wrong and didn’t get the point, but I also got a point deducted because I did a spelling error. I didn’t lose trust in teachers or society in general, but this still nags me. :)

    You are massively not comprehending how a child thinks.

  The question is not even worded ambiguously. It was just written very poorly.

  Its not a Maths test. Its a comprehension test.
