Well, I think it is important to give the teacher what they want, but it's also important to learn to think.

Some would say that the best thing is to just do it the teachers way and just take the other knowledge under advisement to yourself (so to speak), but I honestly believe that the sooner kids learn to state their case and back it up with solid evidence, the better their learning outcomes are likely to be. Of course they must also learn to listen and understand another point of view.

It's all part of learning, and I don't think there's as much to benefit if you only have one without the other.
