I can only remember about 3 classes where the "give yourselves a clap" message has seemed to me out-of-place. Perhaps I have been lucky with my teachers.
For the majority of people positive reinforcement is a vital component of teaching, doing activities together is a vital element of binding groups together, and having a group indulge in a common activity at the behest of the teacher is a vital element of creating class discipline.
Like most things, if it is going to be done badly, then it had better not be done at all. As I have said, my personal experience is that it is done well, but that may be peculiar to the good teachers we have at Ceroc Central.
