After seeing the post, the online community supported the boy, asking the teacher to give him marks for his answer as his answer was not wrong. Some commented on primary education limiting pupil's creativity by expecting answers in a certain way:

"🤣🤣 they must take that kid to grade 9 because he is ahead of the grade 8 memorandum."
User @23Bosslady noted:
"I think basic education is limiting, and sometimes messes a person up, from such situations I lost creativity because even though I had the right answers, I had to compose them in a acceptable way.

"This child is an aspiring comrade 😭."
User @TheArmchairPhilosopher commented:
"I like the teacher's comment. There is a correct answer, and there is the expected answer. Student gave the correct one, not the expected one🤣🤣🤣."
User @phetogo Bra Rich Seko detailed:
"He is right, but this comes in as a secondary interest, their main aim was minerals, but he deserves a half mark."
