Checking the flop every once in a while is fine and good. Good board to slowplay on.

USUALLY checking the flop behind seems like it's losing a ton of value.

i got some problems with checking the flop ever:

1. it's not a board you're ever going to not c-bet on with a missed hand, so it's transparent
2. he's not often going to pair up on that free turn card, and since you didn't bet the flop, you won't make that much from those hands anyway because the pot will still be small
3. you lose value if he already has a pair
4. you don't give him the opportunity to assume you're pushing him around and checkraise this flop with air or with a flush draw
