As someone that would be disciplined for doing work correctly and getting correct answers, I support this.

A handful of teachers would give really bad instructions. Like, commanding everyone how to round numbers incorrectly kind of bad. I can’t even wrap my head around it still.

I’d do the work as it’s supposed to be done. When my answers matched the book and nobody else’s did: I was accused of cheating & stealing the answer keys or disobedience & not following instruction.

My third-grade son's teacher insists it's spelled and pronounced "communitative" (as in "commutative"), to the point where we had to have a parent-teacher conference about my son correcting her.
