You are not wrong there, Bernie. Teachers do tend to put emphasis on structure and content on a piece of work, which does seem sensible and a good attitude. However, it should be linked in with good grammar and spelling. Why not ?
My granddaughter once got an 'A' for an essay. She had spelt 'phone' as 'fone' and it hadn't been corrected. My daughter was furious and rang up the school to complain. Bit of a twist that, eh ? Usually, parents ring to complain when they think their children's work should have been given a better mark.
