Teach for the Money

Student Surveys Suck So this thing that teachers love doing is having students fill out information about themselves for the new school year. It usually includes their name, grade, favorite subject, goals, and activities. Some teachers have them fill out a paper, some a google survey, and others just on a notecard. I used to do this too. I would spend the first day having students fill this out and then think I would read the 150 notecards that I got back. This was fine for your first period students as they were excited to start the new school year. By the last period of the day the students hated it as they had done the same thing in every other class. As for me, I was excited to read the first period's responses. But by the time I got to student 140 I was over it... probably more by student 50. Its not that I wasn't interested its just tough to really get a sense of the student without putting the information to a face and over a real conversation. Relationshi
