Please be specific!
I concluded that the teacher was saying that houses were being constructed with concrete block to prevent termites from invading and damaging the house. If so, that is not true. Concrete block construction and wood stud construction have equal risk for termite invasion and damage. Using concrete block construction does not reduce your risk for termite damage.
