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!) I think the topic of homework has progressed and changed over the years. I think now I see and agree with homework being more of a "if you do not finish this in class, its homework" This is not a punishment but an allowance of more time and a depending on the student they may need the extra encouragement to participate in class and on the other hand the student who enjoys the home environment to complete work they can. With this being said some students have a hectic home life and getting hw done at home was impossible. If a particular student would like extra practice problems to take home the teacher can have extras available for that week. Otherwise students are in school for 7 or more hours each day they need to be young and have other experiences with family, friends or work outside of school or hw.
