That teacher should be fired How can they be allowed to teach and fuck that up
This is one of those problems that makes more sense with context. The teacher had the students working on "reasonableness", which is essentially "does the question I'm asking make sense?". The students were probably instructed to ignore actually trying to solve the problem when presented with one, but instead explain why the question either does or doesn't make sense.
In this case the student potentially misunderstood the task. The failure on the teacher's part is wording the question in such a way that it actually has a reasonable solution, and isn't necessarily an unreasonable question.
The feedback should look totally different if that was the case though
The teacher doesn't need to write all of that to get the point across. They can speak to them on the side and say, "remember when we worked on reasonableness last Tuesday?"
I’m a teacher myself so I fully get how that can be done. But the written feedback is still very, very off if the assignement is what you said it is.
Honestly looks way more like a teacher who is a bit to rigged in their thinking and just got it wrong. I know plenty of those!
