It's also usually just a part of the course- like putting units on an answer in physics. You don't have to say so in every problem because you are taught from the start how to make your responses correct. I built a lot of content for a student math problem system and this is what the teacher wanted. 6/9 is an incorrect answer in elementary mathematics.

I agree, and in a lot of cases I find that to be a sad truth instead of acceptable.
