I have heard in school from our teacher that Rambam talks about different kinds of people, one that sees things he does not understand and disregards them as nonsense, another who when faced with things he does not understand will wait with his judgment until he can understand it better.

I would like to read this from the text; does anyone know where this is written?

are you ref to aggadata,try Rambam intro to perek hachelek of sanhedrian,or maybe his someneh perakim – sam Sep 6 '12 at 18:36
In reference to Midrashim, RaMBa"M castigates those who say that a Midrash doesn't make sense and throw it aside, calls fools those who take Midrashim literally even when they contradict common sense, and praises those who seek to understand Midrashim for their relative value of teaching an important message. I believe this is in his introduction to Perek Helek of Sanhedrin (8th Perek) in his commentary on the Mishnayoth, although I could be wrong on that. – Seth J Sep 6 '12 at 18:40
