When budgets are tight, programs that benefit ALL the kids are the way to go!!
 Small business ownership is not easy for anyone. Every child who embarks on this journey is in for a challenge! This includes the gifted child, the achieving child, and the struggling child. Being able to target these different segments with one program is a smart cost-saving technique- and a "win-win" for all.
All children need to acquire the skills that employers value. According to the 2006 Study: "Are They Really Ready to Work?" (read study) these skills include the ability to:
- innovate and adapt,
- communicate and collaborate,
- think critically and make decisions,
- use technology,
- self initiate,
- be responsible, accountable and professional.
Creative projects that speak to a child's personal interests are most likely to produce the greatest improvement in such skills. Since each child is solely responsible for making the decisions as to what to sell, how it should be produced, packaged, priced, and marketed, small business ownership interests and empowers children while giving them the skills their future employers will value.
This is different than other school projects offered to children. Since business calls on different skills than the classroom, children who struggle in the classroom, can and do excel in the business arena. |

Research Shows...
According to Elena Silva, a senior policy analyst at the Education Sector in Washington, "What's important is the evolving research on how people learn. Teachers were long taught to cover content first and wait for children to get older before having them apply it," she says, but now research shows that "people learn best by learning content at the same time they are acquiring [and applying] new skills."
