SAGE Student Questionnaire
As part of our assessment efforts, starting in 2007, we will ask that each participating
SAGE student complete the following questionnaire.
SAGE QUESTIONNAIRE FOR HIGH SCHOOL PARTICIPANTS

1. I am more confident about my future
because I have learned business skills.
2. I have seen that reading, mathematics,
writing, and other school subjects are
essential to a successful business.

making money. Helping the community
should be considered afterwards, when a
profit has been made.
4. I believe that the goal of any business
for which I work should be to give at
least 10% of profit to the community.
5 Global trade always helps the poor in
other countries raise their standard of
living.
7. The more people teach and practice
democracy, the higher the standard of
living will rise for them.
8. Economics is a difficult subject to
understand and should be left to experts
like those on the Federal Reserve.
9. Every businessperson should be
required to make a business plan which
helps the environment in some way,
even if the business cannot avoid
polluting or creating waste.
10. Because of global warming, youth
businesses which help slow the rate of
warming should be made a priority.
