text: The most effective way to collect data is by collecting the opinions of the ones involved. Rich data comes from the true opinion of the people. When I was in sixth grade, I did a survey on whether or not people should keep fields to farmers, or sell the land to businesses and urbanize the land. Starting out with only my families opinion was not only just a bad idea, but jeopardized the surveys reality. After seeking multiple opinions, I have seen the value of when more people are involved.
