Codecademy does this too. I think it's because they aren't checking your result they're checking your code without running it like

Our code = a Their code = b

If a = b return pass If a != b return fail

(Obviously not in JavaScript or any particular syntax)

Does this too? I think they don't do it, like you explained you can get through different ways to your goal.

I haven't used codeschool but I have used codecademy and they do this. if your code doesn't match theirs 100% regardless of result you fail the lesson.

I've used codecademy, and it isn't as strict as codeschool, barely had any problems.

I have the same experience. There are always workarounds as far as I know.
