Reporting on the Classroom

I have realized that I am a great resource for... well, me. I am always looking for hints to understanding the mindset of students and their motivations, but where I have looked only slightly is my own reservoir of memories from the classroom. Proven to be great raw data I have seen teacher reactions, student morale, and communication between innumerable students and teachers, all of which can be used to make an accurate judgment of the state of a classroom. In other words, I can use first-hand accounts to piece together answers to big questions about contemporary students.
