I believe that's less uncommon than one would think. I've been in our bathroom here at work and heard conversations going on from the stalls. WTF people? It can wait.

I hear people chatting away in the stalls all the time. I hope they're talking on their phones.
 
I cannot believe the teacher gave that student a zero! That kid broke the paradigm to find his answer. He should have recieved a 1/2 point for originality!

(I hated math, and would have answered in the same manner. I always received zero's too...and stern lectures on wasting my teacher's time).
 
More accurately, she just didn't know and made a really bad guess.

Which is almost as bad as actively teaching something wrong and incorrect.

I say, "Almost" because I would hope some students would say, "What the hell? That's not a answer. I'll go find it myself." and go read a book. At least she wasn't saying "This is the answer." and then giving ignore the information.

By the way, I don't know the complete answer, but I'm going to look it up.
I have a vague recollection of what our tomb in Canada represents. I'm going to look up to see if it's any different for the one the US. I suspect it's the same, but that's the part "I don't know."
It is there to represent the US soldiers killed in battle and there is no way to identify them. In our earlier wars we had scores of "Unknown Soldiers" but as time and technology progressed it became easier to identify our battlefield dead.

We try to inter at least one soldier from every war into the tomb, it is not just one soldier in there. IIRC, due to technology, we had a hard time finding an Unknown Soldier from one of our more recent wars. It could have been Vietnam or Gulf I.

The teacher's answer was, as pointed out in an earlier post, essentially correct. Just not very informed.
