Do you agree or disagree that it's acceptable for students to disagree with their instructors?
I agree that it's acceptable for students to disagree with their instructors for the following reasons. Firstly, disagreeing with our instructors means that we are thinking independently and may even push us to study harder. Take myself as an example, when I was in college, I sometimes would disagree with what my instructor said in our philosophy class, so what did I do? Every time I finished my philosophy class, I'd spend hours in the university library trying to find proof to prove that I was right and he was wrong. In the end, it didn't even matter any more who was right or who was wrong. What was important was that through the process of trying to prove myself right, I learnt a lot of new things that I didn't learn in class. Plus, it's important for universities to protect the ideas of students, if we don't allow them to disagree with something, they will never be able to build up their independent thinking ability and critical thinking ability.
