I was reading a book for my doctoral class at UCLA, and I came across some pretty interesting information. The authors studied charter schools like Animo Venice, and they surveyed the students at these charter schools. Analyze the table below and then answer the questions after that.

1. What are the authors trying to find out? What does the information say about charter school students?
2. How does the information in the table compare to your own experience in a charter school? What is the same and what is different?
3. How many students were surveyed? How many schools were given the survey? How many states were involved in the survey?
4. In this survey, how many students said they liked the food? How many students said they disliked the food? The answers are not percentages; they're just numbers.
5. Go to our discussion forum and cast your vote on what you like and dislike about our school. The polls are anonymous, which means we won't know how you voted.
