I have to agree with the majority around here. You should have kept quiet. You have no place second guessing a teacher. As for respect, you are right respect must be earned, but on the other hand, you as a student need to show respect to your chef/instructor whether you respect them or not. You don't know how many times, as a young cook, I thought a chef was crazy for doing something, only years later to realize what a great idea it was. Im not saying that always happens, but you need to be open-minded enough to, at least, consider the idea, and you need to be humble enough to accept the fact that this, and other chefs you will study under, know a whole lot more than you do. Right now as a young cook it is your responsibility to suck up as much information as you can. As you get older, in this industry, and have more experience, then you can start sorting through all you have learned and start to develop your own style.
