If you are asked this question in a job interview for a teaching position: What are some things you should avoid when responding to this question?

Homework is an extension assignment in which a student receives more practice on a lesson taught during the day. The reinforcement is needed in order to assist the child to go beyond recall and on to Bloom's level 3 or Bloom's level 4 type knowledge. If the student views the material more than one time in a day, the student is less likely to forget the information. The student can relate more to what is to be mastered. The student can build knowledge especially if the homework is over something that connects to a future lesson.
