Love this. My school had an 'anonymous' suggestion box which was put up to receive feedback from students. If you walked close to it, you'd be suspected of sharing your views. The concern with anonymous polling would be the same. Students need to trust that they won't be punished fof their views.

Bechem, very insightful article. Unfortunately, the “stubbornness” discussed doesn’t end upon graduation. In fact, it becomes ingrained in a large percentage of the younger people entering the workforce. Your problem description and remediation steps sadly overlay perfectly on many of the workforce’s new entrants—particularly college grads, but also in the trades.
