This is how I educated my students - they were to learn all sides of the argument. And, no matter which side they took, I would take the opposite side and argue from that, regardless of my beliefs on the matter. We had great fun, tremendous drama, absolute and routine excitement in our home, and my students and I grew up together. :)

My students are grown now, and tell me how amazing it is that I could believe so thoroughly in them, support them through rough times. This is so easy to do, as I know they've thought their decisions through, all sides of the decision, and are giving the very best they can, and this is what I've always asked of them. They've yet to fail me in this regard. :)

Such a wonderful and endearing testament, Alia!! And you well prepared them to interject and defend their beliefs in a univerity setting. Did they?
