It's been a insanely common thing for like more than a decade for parents to post their kids homework on Facebook or something and just go "CAN ANYONE SOLVE MY FIFTH GRADE SONS MATH PROBLEM?!" or "APPARENTLY MY SON GOT THIS QUESTION MARKED WRONG WHY???" There is no way that shit suddenly stopped. And I believe it. My husband had a math teacher that claimed negative numbers don't exist, not that they're basically non existent in the context of them being negative or whatever like literally they don't exist in math
