Different fields (Classics, History, Math, etc) have different forms. If you want your work to be accepted in the general academic community for which you're writing, you don't make them deal with it. You deal with the expectation.

The teacher is doing his students a service by forcing them to learn a bibliographic form.
"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."
