[quote=Anonymous]I agree many if the surveys from MCPS are poorly designed and when they ask for student number, it makes me think twice about privacy,  but I usually do it.  
Here’s the thing- they are at least trying to ask for input, trying to ensure only mcps parents complete the survey and trying to ensure one voice is not dominating responses.  
I’d be willing to bet  most  of these surveys are created by a teacher/instructional specialist who was asked to create something to get feedback from the community quickly, and that this person has many other responsibilities, little training in statistics or the technology and is doing their best with what they have.  
What is your suggestion for collecting feedback? What would you trust?  What would you be willing to spend school system dollars/time on?  Truly curious… I’m having trouble thinking of solutions.  I usually  don’t think those that testify to the board are representative of most in the county- and definitely anyone afraid of retaliation won’t go this route, I don’t want phone surveys, I don’t trust my principal not to cherry pick what to share with the board, anytime I remember the county paying outside people to gather the data- it’s been crazy expensive and taken so long it’s hard to act on.  So- while the poorly designed Google forms aren’t great, I try to give at least some input- especially where there is a place to write in an answer - in hopes that someone reads it and it may at least make them consider different points of view.[/quote]
