Wouldn't you get points deducted from various classes starting even in elementary school?
It used to be the case but the trend, anecdotally, is towards a more-rounded learning experience where grammar and punctuation are considered less important.
Why would deduction of points lead to understanding?

Wouldn't one ask why points were deducted?
Only if that one is interested is his/her success and doesn't hate the subject. Plus, a child can be too shy to ask for an explanation.
In the UK it is, the cats example would stump a lot of people.
A classic here is 'its' and 'it's'.
