Jose, you are with the majority, and you are with what it being taught
in today's schools until higher level mathematics.

The round (exactly) half to the even is correct.

George, you're right that rounding is often performed as you say (i.e.,
exactly half rounds to the nearest even integer), for the reason you say (to
avoid statistical biasing). But I'd quibble about calling that "the" correct
way. The function round(x) can be defined in various standard ways, and
different ways can be more useful for different purposes, but there's no
sense in which one conventional definition is the unique correct one.
