Initially contacting ground/clearance...

I stumbled across these videos
http://youtu.be/Uf0TdeIaMG4 and the CFII says when making initial contact to call the controller with your call sign and then wait for them to acknowledge you before asking for dep. clearance. I was taught this is a waste of the controller's time and just make the call asking for dep clearance on the initial.
Thoughts? Opinions?

Reece, you beat me to it (...by 30 seconds!)
Also, it would help if I spoke English....
