Does this make sense to you? (See details)

My daughter’s English teacher does not allow her students to speak in 1st or 2nd person or use contractions while in class. If someone says “may I go to the bathroom?” She takes points from them for using ‘I’ instead of saying “May Sarah go to the bathroom?” Or if someone says “I don’t understand the question.” She takes points. They have to say “Sarah does not understand the question.” Does this make any sense to anyone? Should I complain?
