The line that I use on my students is that: No one is paid to explore, they’re paid to find.
You're a teacher, not an employer. It's not your job to tell people what to be interested in. This is exactly the wrong attitude to bring to any scientific endeavor, but I guess you don't get tenure for letting your students dick around on their own.
All I can say is that heavens I didn't run into anyone like this when I was first learning technology.
