 through a potentially ambiguous question with responses like "I don't want
 to work through it, I want to be told the right answer so I can *know*
 what it is when somebody asks me."

when i was in school (about a year and a half ago) this was the predominant 
attitude "is this going to be on the test" and all that. i almost left 
because i felt like my role in my education was to become a xerox copying 
machine.
