The sample lesson itself is very challenging; most applicants are far too ambitious with their delivery, and attempt to cover far too much content, or don't check for student understanding at all. This seems to often be an applicant's downfall.

Bobby's mom sends him to school. She has to go to work, so she can't go with him. She makes sure he has enough time to be at school before the bell. However, Bobby stops at the candy shop with his friends every morning and comes to class late. Whose fault is it that Bobby shows up late to class? (You are supposed to give a percentage to assign the fault) Then: You call Bobby's mom and tell her what is happening. She gets mad and seems to think that you are saying she's a bad parent. She calls the principal to complain about you. You all have a conference. What would you say to her?
