that's no good... if they're going to supply a discussion on such topics.. neigh, even if the teacher is not the instigator of such a discussion, there is absolutely no excuse for such action... that is absolutely unprofessional and ludicris...
i had an English teacher like that freshman year of high school... i would write an amazingly composed paper with great relevant textual citings and he would grade me down for it because those papers did not follow his views of the book. then i'd write a couple - half assed papers in which i'd agree with his vision of the book, and miraculously i'd end up with a 90- 98% grade... needless to say i did not heed my own conclusions and wrote whatever the hell i felt the books were on about... and ended up with about an 79% in the class overall..
also, i do believe a teacher should make an open statement to the class on each subject they talk about as to what they believe on the subject so that the students can judge for themselves knowing which way the teacher is bias towards
