Wrong! Students waste everyone's time when they challenge the teacher.
Teachers don't have the luxury of that much time.

Also, one of the things students need to do is learn to respect authority,
and how to get along with others.

Remember, students are in school to learn, and they are doing it under the
guidance of their teacher. If the teacher wants the students opinion,
he/she will ask for it.

I am constantly reminding young people that the best way to get good
grades and also to get the most out of their education is to figure out
what the teacher wants and to give it to them. Resisting education is not
the way to get an education.

If a student wants to have a debate, he/she should get on the debate
team(or join the OTlist).
