In the fall of 2005, I sat down at my desk in Mr. Powers’ 11th-grade history class and was asked to complete a survey. This was an interesting and surprising development, as no one in my 12 years of schooling had thought to ask my opinion about anything. The survey instructions asked me to consider my experience in Mr. Powers’ class. A notoriously methodical test taker from kindergarten through graduate school, I thought long and hard about each item. I did think Mr. Powers cared about me. I did find his class interesting. He did not ask me to explain my thinking behind my answers.
