I don't see a conflict between the two teaching methods, although teachers make either one 'brain teasers'.
The humanities are different disciplines than math and the hard sciences. They must be taught differently. A math teacher can correctly tell students that the quadratic formula is the most convenient way to solve a quadratic equation. It's not correct for an English lit teacher to tell students that J.K. Rowling is the greatest British writer of all time.
At the end of the day school is suppose to prepare us to be productive workers.
That's part of it. But there's more to education than career training. Like turning out well-rounded, well-informed, knowledgeable, and judicious citizens.
