Student Surveys

By reading this section I realized how vital it is to let children know that how they view and perceive themselves is important. I think that how we go about doing this is what makes this a good idea or a flop. Some teachers write the surveys and then never take the time to read them. When a teacher does this, he or she may as well have spent the time with the students doing math work sheets because this is not of value to the teacher or the student. On the other hand, a teacher can use these as vital tools to see how the student sees him or herself and believes that other children see them as well. When done correctly these can make or break a classroom. A teacher can see if the student has high or low self esteem. This knowledge may seem irrelevant, but it can make or break a classroom and a teacher's knowledge of this can ensure that the student feels safe in the classroom.
