Bogus Bowl IV

This was a tough one to develop. Thanks to many suggestions from colleagues, however, we have a new opportunity to waste time.

Which of the following do you consider the most bogus answer to the question, "How do you know that [teaching practice] is effective?"

  • The people who developed it really do care about children. (49%, 26 Votes)
  • The students really enjoyed it. (19%, 10 Votes)
  • Research says so. (13%, 7 Votes)
  • I've seen it work with my own two eyes. (11%, 6 Votes)
  • My friend is a great teacher, and she uses it. (8%, 4 Votes)

Total Voters: 53

To see the results of the previous poll, take a look at the original posting of it.

As with previous Bogus Bowls, please remember that the results of these polls do not provide credible scientific evidence; they simply reflect the opinions of the respondents. Also, note that some of the choices that got few votes in a poll might just re-appear in a future BB on Teach Effectively!; mayhaps we’ll have a challenge bowl about which was the most bogus question, too.

To see the results of all Bogus Bowls and other polls from Teach Effectively, please follow the link labeled “polls” in the top navigation element. Meanwhile, I welcome suggestions for topics for future Bogus Bowls. Just drop ‘em in the comments.
