[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who think a business proposal is important are missing some key points, for one, they don't go into detail about the expenses of running a business or cover even rudimentary math.

It's all about whether you are going to sell puppies, sports equipment or cupcakes.  The kids make up categories (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry), and a price, but there is no research or even a basic understanding of business.  They really learn nothing, but the word "business proposal" is bandied about to impress the parents. [/quote]

+1000. How is that age appropriate to teach business proposal for elementary school students? For them to grow up be the corner shop owners? The kids are much better off to learn real knowledge. World geography is part of the knowledge pool. [/quote]

The only people who do business proposals are corner shop owners? It's a bad thing to be a corner shop owner? Business proposals don't count as real knowledge? I don't understand.[/quote]
