Is this use of such...as correct?

I was watching a Youtube video on English grammar and found the teacher using the following sentence

"It is such a confusing question as confuses even teachers."

The explanation was 'as' works as a relative pronoun.

Could you please tell me if the above usage is correct.

Thank you.

Hi, cliverob33. Welcome to EF. It's not wrong, but it is a rather confusing sentence.

Hi, cliverob33. Welcome to EF.

It's not wrong, but it is a rather confusing sentence. Better ways to phrase it would include:

"It is a confusing question such as confuses even teachers."

"It is such a confusing question that it confuses even teachers."
