Some of the schools returned as few as five questionnaires while others responded with as many as 425 surveys. An introductory letter and six copies of the questionnaires were sent to the school superintendents and they were asked to forward the information to high school teachers. The teachers then selected the class or classes and students to participate. Thus, I recognize that this is not a representation of a scientific random sample of the high schools in the district I represent, rather a survey of students to understand the concerns and identify the issues facing the youth of today. The project documents list each participating school and gives a small description of the each school's address, population, percentage of low-income students, designation of rural or urban school district, and number of respondents.

Having additional resources makes learning easier. Our school has very little heat and leaky windows, so it is uncomfortable in the winter. The condition of our environment and its preservation seems to be overlooked by most citizens. The environment and its inhabitants are rapidly deteriorating. Before long, there won't be anything to be concerned about and it will be too late to notice.
