In all fairness, there are lots of teachers who do not tell the student
to shut up when they get a question over their heads.  It happened to me,
I don't remember the grade level, but we were learning fractions, so it
must have been around 4 or 5.  I asked "Is there any such thing as
1 over 1/2" and was told "Yes, I think there is a way to do that, I
just don't know how."  It satisfied me at the time, and didn't generate
a long divergence on inverses.
