   I'm not writing a post against any educational system, I mean the kid got a D with no wrong answers, 
   that's pretty unfair. But I'm not an expert in that field, or actually any field to begin with. What

   I actually just recently ran into an issue with my programming course where they knocked off 10 
   points because my output was 1 cent off what their "desired" output was, regardless of the fact 
   that my program was actually rounding properly instead of truncating, making it more accurate 
   than it actually was. I never hated a teacher so much in my life.

   He can't be more right! I've gone through similar situations during my career, in many projects

  So I was browsing through http://reddit.com[reddit] and came across this picture:

negative.code: will pay a visit to the school and hopefully this teacher stops killing kid's motivation to learn 
  and specially learn math.
  
  For a *final statement* I will leave here another comment from the thread that really rounds things up 
  with this topic by explaining a real life example of how common sense might not make your life easier 
  all the time:

  Hey, former dev at a bank here.
  Being "better" isn't strictly right. This isn't just your professor being an asshole, I was on an actual 
  project that had pretty much this exact same problem.
  Project involved effectively automating some collateral value calculations. We were given a spreadsheet 
  with some sample values and were given the maths and were told to match output. We didn't bother to check 
  that the formatting rules truncated at certain point (at the millions). We get into UAT and the business
