  Case: Do you think homework is beneficial? Why or why not?
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? What might be some important points to stress that would get the interviewer's attention? How would you respond to this question?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Homework is only beneficial if it is not just "busy-work." Students should actually be benefiting from the homework. Giving students a homework of 5 math problems that are all types of math problems they have been learning about, rather than 100 math problems repeating the same steps to prove they know it is not beneficial.
