Breaking chemical bonds takes in energy while forming chemical bonds releases energy. So, your way is correct, not the teacher.

But i have a quiz tomorrow...should i write it my way or the teacher's way?

Well, if you do it the correct way, ensure that you have a textbook supporting your answer. Don't do it the teacher's way...maybe, somehow, she didn't realize that what she said was wrong. You're just stating the truth, that's all.
