School for superior children

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

Schools should adjustment their programs to accommodate and develop mentally superior children. The curriculum should provide for the varied interests of superior children. The main thing is to provide conditions for these children to learn the uninteresting but necessary things quickly.

The education program for the intellectual superior children should be from a balanced consideration of facts and opinions based on experiences, the capacity of the individual, and the probable social role which he or she will fulfill. This involves the principle of social parallelism, which gives special significance to the education of children who will someday exert influence upon local, national, and world affairs. It is not suggested, however, that conventions be completely disregarded.

The educational program should be unique. There should be adequate materials and modern methods of teachings. Laboratory equipment are needed for the exposition of elementary physical laws which superior children are already capable of understanding. Computers loaded with up to date programs, aside from reference books and encyclopedia, should be made readily available.

Any business enterprise is faced with several risk possibilities. To sustain its business viability or success, an enterprise should eliminate or minimize business risks, such as fire, natural calamities, pilfering, robbery, strikes, accidents and so forth.

In rich countries, most enterprises insure their products and properties against the risks of doing business in the form of damage, theft, injury and other. Likewise, individuals insure their families, properties and themselves. Entrepreneurs adopt risk management programs to eliminate or reduce risks. Risk is the possibility that a loss or injury will take place. In a modem world, risk are all around us. For instance, car accident destruction of properties by flood or fire, or physical injury or even death. In business there is always risk, such as wrong business decisions, poor management or negative business environment.
