It can't failt to make anything other than sense, I think, to ask (of every lesson one teaches): "Why am I doing this? What will the class get from it? How could I make it better?" If we meaningfully engage with the process of problem solving (and not in the 5-14 Maths sense of the term) then we are doing things (and learning things) which, shock horror, may actually be of some use.
