Huh? I'm no teacher, but a large part of my training involved FINDING my chest voice and learning to use it. Inasmuch as my current gig involves singing in the "Do I *LOOK* like Paul Robeson?" range, I'm quite glad that I put in the effort. (Besides, having a chest voice really does help with the top notes!)
But, there does seem to be a lot of boneheaded voice teachers out there. Good thing you can help them.
