As people we all have certain convictions that we hold to be true. Whether or not we can always explicitly state them there are certain aspects of our lives that we have developed our sense of personal identity around. Now is it the role of the teacher to try and shake up these convictions? I believe it is, to an extent. The methodology that Socrates undertakes in defending himself certainly shows that it is possible to not only prove fallacies in the logic of others but to bolster your own arguments in the process. What we need to ask as teachers in this case is how far is too far.
