  I am not going to argue with you about it

  Nor should you. I’m a Maths teacher.

  This was resolved almost a month ago

  And yet you still don’t understand what’s wrong with what you said.

  Read the original equation again, plug some numbers into it, and try again.

  That’s what you need to do. You’re the one coming up with wrong answers when you change the order. Changing the order doesn’t change the answer.

  If you still don’t get it I cannot help you

  It’s not me who doesn’t get it. I teach it.

    I feel bad for your students if you cannot see why you are wrong here.

      My students know I’m right. Everyone’s students know that’s right. It’s only adults who’ve forgotten the rules who get this wrong.

        Whatever you say. Enjoy the egg on your face bud.
