Students should always question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively.

Write a response in which you discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the statement and explain your reasoning for the position you take. In developing and supporting your position, you should consider ways in which the statement might or might not hold true and explain how these considerations shape your position.


TS: Whether the statement holds true depends on the nature of what is being taught.  When students are taught the facts and methods that have been generally accepted, they should not question them until they master the knowledge.  They should, however, challenge the legitimacy of the values taught in schools in order to avoid being brainwashed.   

ts1: facts presented in the classrooms should be accepted passively in order to study efficiently
- facts are usually verified by researchers scientifically
- for example- the fact that the numbers that are divisible by 3 always have the sum of their digits divisible by 3
- this fact can be proved mathematically
- the fact should be memorised and used in doing math (questioning it is pointless)

ts2: methods taught to solve problems should not be questioned either
- for example, Riemann hypothesis has not been proved
- but the hypothesis has been used to solve many problems before
- efforts should be made to understand the methods and practice using them
- no need to question them as students
- may question it later as researchers

ts3: values and ideologies taught in schools should be questioned to avoid being brainwashed  
- some US schools taught abstinence as the best method to prevent pregnancy
- such biased messages should be questioned
