This discussion is wonderful.  My dilemma is exactly that...do we prepare 
people, especially in adult literacy to follow the rules or do we prepare 
them to think for themselves.  My problem with just teaching people to follow 
the rules is that every layer of society has a different set of rules.  "It's 
not what you do, but who you know that counts" is one example of a rule.  But 
this doesn't work for everyone.
