Why don't teachers use more variety in their methodology?
Sometimes teachers repeatedly use the same method due to ignorance. They aren't aware of all the possibilities.
Often a lack of variety is a reflection of teachers' insecurities and fear of trying something new. They feel safe teaching the way they know.
Unfortunately some teachers are stuck in a rut purposefully due to laziness. They don't want to take the time to learn something new. They don't want to put in the extra effort to use a more involved method.
