Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit

Your chosen notation solves nothing. Try Representing 3227/555 using 4 trailing dots.

I started here by showing how fractions are useful.

You are the ignorant aggressor, trying to fight centuries of mathematicians by claiming decimals are always better.

do...do you even know where you are right now?

Same place as you, doing the same thing.

This reminds me of a much more reasonable bad teacher from my childhood, which I still remember as unfair

We had been learning the vowels, which in one thing were listed as a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y, among others with the just the five most common ones

So days later when we had a quiz my answer to which letters are vowels was a, e, i, o, u, and sometimes y. I got a red x, with "and sometimes y" crossed out. I don't think we were given points but it felt like zero points.

I wonder if this is an actual child being taught not to trust questions or someone implementing the idea of get internet points by typing a question, writing a childlike a correct answer, then writing in pen a bad teacher response

We understand the INTENT of the question. The problem is as it is stated, the question does not limit the domain of correct answers to only what the teacher wants.

Now please... get your head out of your ass and develop better logic skills.
