I don't mind, i just need them filled in =)

Thank you! The responses below have been recorded. I hope to get more responses soon. =)

I do have 50 copies of the survey but have found it difficult finding parents to fill it out which is why I have posted the survey on the internet. I have only got a few parents to actually fill it out at school from school friends but the peers at school usually want to fill it out themselves and I don't trust them to actually tell their parents to fill it out. If they filled it out themselves that would ruin the actual purpose of my research. Thank you for the suggestion. =)
