Math question...

What is 56 - 24 / 3 + 12?

My child's math teacher said 36.
I say 60, as does a friend who was formerly a schoolteacher.

Essentially, in PEMDAS, do you literally do all the operations according to P-E-M-D-A-S? So that all addition gets done before all subtraction? Or are addition/subtraction considered equivalent in priority so that you then do the equation left-to-right?
