The bar graph presents the answers to a survey conducted in our class last week. Thirty students answered one question: which kind of school notice is easiest to understand? The most popular choice was short text messages, selected by eleven students, or more than a third of the class. Notices with pictures came second with eight votes, and printed letters sent home with students received five. The school website won the same share of votes as the classroom bulletin board: only three each. In other words, both choices that require students to search for information on their own were the least popular. Overall, the survey shows a clear preference: students like notices that reach them directly and take little time to read. Because of these results, our class plans to ask the school to add a picture to every short message about an important event. However, a survey taken in only one class may not reflect the views of the whole school.
