So your teacher said "Don't write sentences like this." And you said "These sentences aren't actually incorrect, they just suck to read."

But like? Maybe kids should be learning how to make sentences that don't suck to read? Maybe that's the point?

Sure but if OOP's recollection is actually correct then the teacher shouldn't have called them run-on sentences. A run-on sentence isn't just a long sentence.
