I don't really get the point. Just about everyone spouts the currently fashionable buzzwords relevant to whatever sector they work in at job interviews. It's how the system works.

It's problematic when teachers are praised and even promoted for using methods that are either unsupported by evidence or in some cases even actively counterproductive.
