My English teacher made it sound that way to my friend.

Not if it's folded. Basically it should be the content that is marked. When I was a teacher in college I would knock of a maximum of two marks for poor presentation but if the mark was borderline would go in favour of the content which, to me, was more important in demonstration of what the student knew than the way it was presented.
If a paper was accidentally spoiled or damaged I would tell students to write a little note explaining why at the bottom. It would be a churlish examiner indeed who would ignore such an explanation.
Finally, if you fail, ask for a copy of the marking and if it was because of the crease, place an appeal on the grounds that the content of your answers was more important.

First impressions count. While they may not mark you down specifically by saying, "Your presentation looked like a crumpled up piece of crap", they may take note of the disheveled appearance and decide to be a little pickier on other area's of your presentation.
So basically, if you went through the effort to make a good presentation, then next time make sure your hard work is reflected in the manner by which you present it.

For English, it shouldn't be. Coursework for most subjects are marked on content, not the presentation. The subjects were presentation are important are: Art, Graphics, Resistant Materials, Food Tec, and sometimes Drama.
Hope that helped. :P

It really depends on the teacher, although beginning in middle school and beyond, most teachers will be very nit-picky about wrinkles on homework, project, and the like. It's best to hand in homework that are neat or has very little wrinkles as possible, so store them in a folder or a binder that isn't overfilled (if it's a project, try bringing it by hand, or encase it in a large shopping bag or something like that).

You shouldn't be, and if you are, tell your teacher you'll take it to the head of department for re-marking. You could even claim it wasn't creased when you handed it in, if you were feeling sneaky!

they cant mark you down for it but if work is scrappy and creased its bound to leave a first impression of a scrappy student.
always present work in the best way possible. it doesnt take much effort

Possibly, yes. If you were in the world of work and had to make a presentation to the Board of Directors, it would be expected to be of a high standard, and that includes how it looks.

Presentation is always important. So if your teaching is making that a priority, then he/she is doing you a favour. a good education is about more than gaining knowledge and facts. It's about preparing you for life.

possibly. teachers prefer work that is typed or neatly handwritten and maybe even in a report cover. keep your work in a folder to prevent it from getting creased.

well no it shouldnt relly matter for english as it isnt to much about presantion, its more about how you put it on the page, puncation, spelling and gramma etc. i wouldnt make to much of a big fuss of it though, you could always print off anthore copy but it is probaly the teacher being picky
