The interviewer wants to know your practices surrounding the amount of homework you send your students home with. It's a hot topic between educators, students, and parents! Share your thoughts but try not to pigeon hole yourself into one answer (IE: Avoid saying, 'I NEVER give homework').

"I believe that the majority of work should be completed during school hours so that students can focus on their families, and extracurricular activities once the bell rings. There are exceptions, of course! Students who are falling behind and need tutoring will obviously have some homework. Also, around SAT's and other important exams, I will give small amounts of homework."

Learning is on-going, and I give homework at least 3-4 times a week. It doesn't always have to be a heavy load but something to practice new concepts, so they get better at it making them more prepared during tests.
