Survey Results

It is interesting to look at the results of a recent survey done among teachers and students at two middle schools. Of the 181 respondents, 48% believed a garage is for keeping a car or vehicle, 19% said a garage is for storage, and 33% responded that a garage is for a vehicle and storage.

These numbers are misleading because in a twisted turn of information, the next question of what the respondents use their garage for tells a different story! Of the 48% who said garages were for cars/vehicles only, 44% said they used their garage for cars AND storage. If this information is combined with the 19% who said, up-front, that a garage is for cars and storage, it would bring that total up to 40%!

I can only conclude that what people believe in theory and what they do in practice are two different things!
