Those are my thoughts exactly, Robin! I have encountered the 'my way or the highway' attitude to things such as this and more, and if something works for you, why is it so important?
I feel that my duty as a teacher is to present the options and allow my students to make informed choices, have valid reasons for those choices, and the freedom to say, "You know what, that didn't work for me, I think I am going to try this a different way." It is not my duty to create a legion of robots who do what I say...that is not education and is certainly not promoting an art form.
I am interested in the reasons for people's choices, because obviously I have valid reasons for my own and often find it hard to find reasons for others.
Thanks for the input, guys. Robin, I hope we start to see more teachers and players out there who think along the 'who cares what others do, this is what I do' lines.
