Student Questionnaires

I assume every teacher of English has had experience
with this evil phenomenon- student questionnaires.
The group is given questionnaires to elaborate on the
things they have no idea about. Personally I think student
questionnaires are the same if I had been operated
upon and then given a questionnaire if I am satisfied
with the work of the staff. Then, these questionnaires
are used to:
1. compile compromising information about the teacher
in order not to raise salaries
2. use to give bad references
3. show the client that you care (when you, actually, don’t)
4. annoy both parties

Thank God, now I work for myself. My best questionnaire
is when students come back next term. I have just coined
a new saying: don’t take an approach in the classroom, take
the classroom in the approach. If they can’t understand
present perfect passive, DROP IT and MOVE ON!
