"The First Five Years" Survey Part I

I'm looking for intelligent people to give me feedback and suggestions about my writing. I would also like to add to this book little pieces of testimony from teenagers that I respect. Is it any wonder that I'm turning to you guys first? Take your time with this. No hurry.

By filling out this survey, you agree to waive any right to compensation other than a place in the "Special Thanks" section of the book, should it be published. I'll also buy you coffee or something after you graduate.
Name: 


  1. In your experience, what are the biggest differences between the average freshman and the average senior?


  1. What are some actions or behaviors you wish that your teachers had done MORE? (What did your favorite teacher do to MAKE them your favorite?) Feel free to use an example (with no names!)


  1. What are some actions or behaviors you wish that your teachers had done LESS? (What did your least favorite teacher do to MAKE them your least favorite?) Feel free to use an example (with no names!)


  1. You walk into a classroom the first day, and your teacher reveals that this is their first day of teaching EVER. If you could pull them aside and give them some advice about handling you and your peers, what would it be?
