My kid's grade has tests every other week, and these are actual formal tests, timed, etc, and the teacher sends out a formal looking Progress Report every 2 weeks, to be signed by parent.
In one such test, there was a question:
Write 3 numbers that are greater than 199.
The expected answer is 200,201, 202.
My kid wrote something like: 356, 1092, 999 (basically, correct, but not the expected).
If it was regular school work, I wouldn't care. This was a test, and not a regular test, but one that is recorded towards grades.
There were no verbal directions given that would indicate to the student only numbers "just greater than" are to be written.
Would you let it pass, or send in a nice note asking for clarification, and suggestion that future tests be more explicit in directions.
My kid cares more about his grades than I do.
Would you let it go or send in a note?
