Hello Everyone - first post and seeking some insights. A friend's kid had a homework assignment: Evaluate -(-5)^2

With common order of operation, PEMDAS, one would think the answer would be -25. Entered in Excel 2013, =-(-5)^2, the answer returned is 25. T.I. 89 calculator returns -25

Any insights on the discrepancy are appreciated! thx.
