It depends upon the worksheets.

Doesn't that depend on the worksheet?

If it's just "drill and kill," then it's definitely not A!

What do YOU THINK??
Answered by Ms. Sue
I hope this is not a question from a teacher education class. I can think of worksheets that could fit any of those answers. Such a simplistic question is NOT appropriate for teacher education.

I agree with Ms. Sue -- and I don't believe anyone can be adequately prepared for successful teaching by means of online classes. Interaction and discussion are needed -- among students and between students and the instructor -- but online classes provide little if any interactions or discussion.
