- This is the questionaire for the teachers. I’m not even going to report any of the responses (because there aren’t enough to mean anything) but I can say that the responses have been very positive. They have been things like, “Thanks for helping me to get my students to interact with people that I couldn’t have gotten into my classroom otherwise.”
