I asked fifty of my closest friends to participate in a poll. It was an assignment I was using in class and they were required to do the same. It only seems fair that you are willing to do what you ask your students to do Here are the way the directions were posted on the poll.
It is time to take off the rose color glasses and take this poll. For the next few minutes you are asked to be a realist and give an answer you can back up with facts and examples. Since there are only three people here who know me, I guess they could accurately take the poll. I suppose others could guess. Or we could all do what Virilians do best. Don’t bother to take the poll. At any rate here is what the students and I had to participate in.

A great poll and lesson in life.
My sons and I often discuss selfish versus selfless. One of the twins always says “selfless is doing and not expecting.” I love that!
Oh I love that too! Can I have his name? I really try with my young grandsons to teach with words, books, quotes and reasoning. I would love to make them a quote poster with his name on it. (We change the quotes once a month and move them from the frames to their giant quotes book.) I understand if you consider it invading his privacy.
They are liv and nick. But they are long past formative years (they turn 20 in a few days!)
