I saw a paper where the answer was correct but the teacher chided the kid for not using “friendly numbers”

Wasn’t this nonsense stopped decades ago as it was called New Math?

According to Buddy Sorrell, 32 is the funniest number.

Sally Rogers: What’s a matter with fifteen?
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell: Thirty-two’s a funnier number.
Sally Rogers: Since when?
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell: Thirty-two has ALWAYS been a funnier number! I hear thirty-two, I get hysterical! Watch.
[turns to Rob]
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell: Try me.
Rob Petrie: Thirty-two.
Maurice (Buddy) Sorrell: Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoooo!
Sally Rogers: Well, I gotta admit he’s right.
