Too rigid for her own good?

So, I get 400 million graded worksheets home yesterday. I swear, Jake has done so many worksheets he has probably gone through a tree this kindy year. Anyway, there was the following problem on there:

On the way to school, Ben saw two blue cars and four red cars. How many red and blue cars did he see? ___

Write the combination. ____ + ____= _____

So, Jake puts "6" in the first blank.

Then he writes 4 + 2 = 6

She counted him -2 in her red pen because she insists that it MUST be 2 + 4 = 6.

Jake gets that you can write addition problems in either order. Does she?
