So the point was more the way in which people disagree with teachers, and not the degree to which it happens?

I understand where you're coming from with the former, but the latter still seems wildly dismissive of the differences between professions, and I want to make sure I'm not putting any words into your mouth.

I definitely took "as" to mean "to the same extent" and if that was a misread, my bad.
