I conducted my first piece of research today. I had my students fill out a survey regarding their attitude towards school. My results were very interesting. I think that I was most surprised at their response to weather or not they would like a phone call home when they have a great day or get a good grade. I had four students reply that they would never like this.
What I found most interesting though was that my class had an even split of 50% each for liking and disliking school. Finally, the words that were circled regarding their feelings revealed that 15 out of 20 students were worried when they were told the teacher would be calling home.
I find that this has made me think about my own feelings and attitude about school when I was their age. I know that I didn't like school, but it was not because of the school or the teachers. I had many problems with my peers as being the brunt of their meanness.
Overall, I am finidng this interesting.
