I don't understand how this has anything to do with the air quality in the classroom. Nothing was asked about the level of dust that is
constantly present in my room. Also the air temperature. It is very warm in my room and it smells. Your questions did not address such
issues. I don't understand why your responses are needs help, etc. It is not a matter if I need help with it, it is a matter of presence in the
classroom. Plus, many of your questions are things that classroom teachers have no control over so your questions were unrespondable.

This survey does not make much sense to me. There are no questions asked; only statements are made. Does need help mean we would
need help to do what is told to do? Or, does it mean that the are in question is not up to standard and needs help. I think as a survey it is
