What is the purpose of that question?

That's easy. To make students even dumber than they are now. Dumb students will eventually become dumb voters. And dumb voters vote for the Dems.

“Tell how to make 10 when adding 8+5.”

Actually, the kid was right. If you add 8+5, then you can’t make ten.

If they had asked: “If you have 8 units and 5 units, how could you group them into 10 units”, then the 8 and the 2 would be relevant.

They, however, ask the kid “when adding 8+5”. When one adds 8+5, one gets 13.
