The first thing that caught my attention about this chapter was the sample questionaire the author talks about and provides an example of. I had never had to take one of those in high school before but it seemed like an excellent idea and a simple and fast way to learn some things about the students.
I think the reason it jumped out at me was because of what a simple idea it was and how easy it would be to implement it in the classroom, and yet throughout my entire high school career none of my teachers ever used one. This part of the chapter definitely opened my eyes and made me realize the delicate balance that needs to be maintained between being their teacher and being their friend.
