What is a wrong question? This seems like more than just a grammar error in the English, but rather a category error in the logic.
Also I find the implied deference for didactic authority to be troubling.
Teacher: Who came up with E=MC^3?
Duolingo: Teachers don't ask wrong questions. You are fired!
There is no rule that नहीं needs to be the third-last or second last word of a sentence. It's just that it needs to be placed adjacent to a verb.
No. शिक्षक ग़लत सवाल पूछते नहीं हैं is also fine. But it emphasises the negation.
Shikshak seems okay in literary hindi however for real-life conversations I'd advise to use adhyapak, also generally in urban areas, the english word "teacher" is far more common as well as widely understood.

This sentence is completely out of youch with reality and based on a flawed deference to teachers as all knowing. Coming from inside yhe culture, this leads to alot of arrogance on the party of teachers and an intolerance for acknowledging their own shortcomings. Kindly remove and replace with something less biased. Teachers do ask and say "wrong" things.
Is the meaning of this clearer in Hindi? Is it a play on an idiomatic phrase (like the english phrase, 'there's no such thing as a bad question')?
In English, the meaning of this sentence is extremely unclear: is the question grammatically flawed? Is it based on incorrect assumptions or axioms? Is it just difficult to interpret?
