Case: What is your view on drill and practice? How and when would you use it?
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 drill and practice gets a lot of bad press in teacher circles these days, but for basic math facts and grammar rules, I find it to be extremely important and even CRUCIAL to the learning practice. I do not think that everything needs to be word for word or number by number memorized, but the more that you repeatedly drill information, the more readily it comes to someone in the event that they need it. There is a reason why classical musicians play their scales every day even after they are professionals. This is something that is being torn out of schools in the modern era, and is why so many students have terrible handwriting and they often need a calculator for basic math skills. We are failing students by removing drill and practice. |

| Comments: I agree, drill and practice is useful for math and other skills in school. Maybe not everything but certainly math because the more students don't practice the less they will retain it. As a student when I was younger I wish we weren't given calculators so soon. |
