Order of Operations. It's not that hard to understand. You learned this in Jr. High.

Obviously your daughter's 4th grade teachers are idiots. I'd suggest moving her to a new school, I think they have openings at the one my dad teaches at.

I don't think he lives in a 3rd world country, so he probably won't be going to your dad's school.

6 - ((6 * 6) / 2) == -12 maybe.

Let's see here:

6-6*6=-12

divide both sides by 6:
1-1*6=-2
transpose 1 to the other side:
-1*6=-3
divide by -3:
-1*-2=1
multiply out -1*-2:
2=1

which yields a contradiction.

*Psst* When you divide by -3 on both sides, you get -1/3 not -1
