3. Habits Are Hard To Break
A teacher with 20 years of experience will have asked something like a half a million questions in her career. And when you’ve done something the same way, half a million times, it’s quite difficult to start doing it another way.

4. Questioning
On Average, a teacher asks 400 questions a day (one third of their time)
Most of the questions are answered in less than one second (Hastings, 2003)
60% recall facts and 20% are procedural (Hattie, 2012)
Most answers are right or wrong
