ASSESSMENT OF ALL WRITING SKILLS WILL BE DONE AS PER THE IGCSE PATTERN: CONTENT: 10, STYLE: 9
3. Assignment:
You are going to read about parents educating their children at home instead of sending them to school.
I want to educate my children at homeFrom the day your child was born you have been home educating – assisting him in his quest for knowledge of the world around him, answering his questions, teaching him to walk and talk. You have already done the hard stuff, and without a curriculum. In fact, if you truthfully look back at this stage, you yourself have not had much of a hand in all the wonderful things your child has accomplished. Our children are born with the ability to teach themselves everything they need to know about surviving in the world they live in, and they do it well. School interrupts this natural flow of learning and eventually kills it. If you leave children alone and just provide lots of resources, encouragement and a caring environment, that is all you will ever need. Trust them and they will get the job done.
Home school is an option open to families in Australia and often the decision to home educate your child is made well after your child has started school. Schools are a fairly recent invention of man as they have only been around for about 150 years or so. Before that, parents always taught their children at home, and it was a natural part of life. Going to school is not the natural way for a child to learn and many children struggle with the concept of school. As a result, parents often see a change for the worse in their children. They become unhappy, angry little people unable to communicate with parents and siblings as they once did.
An Australian lecturer in education, who has been researching home education for ten years, has found that children who have structured lessons at home as well as children who have had absolutely no structure at home have both turned out to be socially and academically ahead of schooled peers. The only drawback he found that he found in the ten years of study was the lost wages of one parent.
2
Children do not need to be placed in artificial situations so that they can ‘become socialised’. Socialisation forced upon children in schools and playgroups is not true socialization. Real socialisation happens all the time, every minute of the day with parents, siblings, shopkeepers, in the park and best of all, children with themselves and their dreams. It happens all the time and we do not need to set it up. The type of socialisation that does happen in the schoolyard is not the type most of us want for our children (the bullying and the peer pressure and the bad language) and children that grow up in charge of their own socialisation grow strong and confident and able to communicate with a wide range of people.
Q1. Read the above passage and based on your reading answer the following questions:
a. Who plays a more important role in a child’s development, according to the writer?(1)b. Why does the writer think that schools interrupt the ‘natural flow of learning’? (2)c. When do parents usually start to think about home schooling for their children? (1)d. What sort of ‘little people’ are schools seen to produce? (1)e. What according to the writer are the benefits of home schooling? (1)f. What negative socializing does a school have on a child? (1)
Q2. In about 120 words summarize why home education is better than school education. (11)
Q3. It is a trend these days that parents send their children to boarding schools. Write a letter to your local newspaper giving your views about this trend (words 200) (19)
a. why are parents sending their children to boarding schools.b. best places to bring up the children in today’s hectic schedule.c. children should be brought up under parental care and guidance.d. parents should know about day to day activities of their child
4. Assignment:
Read the following article and answer the questions that follow:
Parmesan cheese, without which your plate of spaghetti just does not taste right, has for many years been used as a security for loans by banks in the north of Italy. In a vast warehouse near the town of Parma, owned by the Banco Credito Emiliano, there are literally hundreds of thousands of wheels of cheese, each one ripening by the day, and increasing in value as they mature.
The cheeses offer short-term financing for local people until the cheese is ready to sell. Most banks will provide loans of between 65% and 70 % of the value of the cheese when it enters the warehouse. A fresh wheel of parmesan usually weighs about 50 kg, but as it matures it will lose about 20% (or 10 kg) of its initial weight. However, the more mature a cheese becomes,

The Value of Cheese...
the greater its value.
After the first 12 months in the warehouse, parmesan cheese is worth about $10.50 per kilo, whereas after two years the price has more than doubled. In some large London stores, two-year-old parmesan sells to the public for $45 per kilo.
For the banks around Parma, parmesan cheese has offered a very low security risk for more than 70 years. The process itself is painstaking, and dates back to the 14 th century when the Benedictine monks first made the now world-famous cheese. While the machinery as well as the financing has changed over the years, the love and care which goes into the production of parmesan cheese remains unique. Rows of large copper containers, called vats, steam as warm milk bubbles and froths; the cheese mixture is whipped, heated, and then cooled; finally the soft cheese is placed in a net-like bag, and then into a mould.
But modern technology now provides each wheel of parmesan with its own personal air-conditioning system, which ensures that the air surrounding it is cooled to 18 – 20 degrees centigrade, with an air humidity level of 80%. There is even a special room where cheeses which have suffered some kind of superficial damage can receive special attention.
a. What happens to the value of a wheel of parmesan as it ripens? [1]b. How much does a full-size parmesan weigh once it has matured? [1]c. Who were the first people to make parmesan cheese? [1]d. What happens to the cheese mixture after it is cooled? [1]e. What has been the effect of modern technology on the parmesan cheese making process?
[1]f. Make a list of four pieces of information about the financial value of parmesan cheese. [4]
Q2. In not more than 120 words summarize the importance of cheese down the ages. (11)

ACCOUNTING
Case Study 1:
COW WOW CEREAL MILK
12
COW WOW CEREAL MILK is a two-year-old company that makes milk in breakfast cereal flavors. Founded by Christopher Pouy, a former advertising copywriter seeking to capitalize on a childhood love, it is based in Los Angeles a. By putting a child-friendly cow on the package and giving his flavors names like Fruity Trudy and Chocolate Chip Cathy, Mr. Pouy branded his product for 5- to 12-year-olds.
Knowing he’d be selling to parents and wanting to “do it in a responsible way,” Mr. Pouy insisted on 1 percent organic milk, no artificial flavors or colors, and organic cocoa powder and cinnamon. With six grams of added cane sugar, each 8.5-ounce serving had 150 calories. For packaging, he chose Tetra Paks that did not need refrigeration and had a shelf life of up to a year.
He started the business with $175,000 of his own money, 9,000 borrowed from his brother and 20,000 as bank loan.
He also uses his godown and factory worth $55000, for the purpose of production. The factory is well equipped with modern gadgets and machinery, furniture and fittings, five computers, three telephone connections. He has 8 delivery vans, 2 lorries and 2 cars for business purpose.
In this task he is assisted by 25 factory workers, 2 supervisors, 4 housekeepers , 2 security guards 4 members of administrative staff and his own as amanager.
His present turnover is around $75,000 annually. He has started with various promotional strategies to boost his revenues. Some of these are:
Stick with young children, who are, by far, the biggest consumers of milk. This option was appealing because high schoolers and college students are notoriously fickle. What if Cow Wow was a fad? To pursue this option, Mr. Pouy’s next step would be to target private and charter schools and expand national sales in Kroger and other grocery stores with a marketing push to educate mothers about the benefits of flavored milk and alert children to Cow Wow’s flavors. The expected cost: $100,000.
Mr. Pouy would rebrand, redesign, repackage and reformulate. He would try to hook 18- to 35-year-olds with hipper cows and a larger package with a resealable cap instead of a straw. To cut costs, he would switch to a nonorganic formula. He would focus on selling to colleges and convenience stores. Cost: $100,000.
Accounting Applications:
Instructions: Now that you have reviewed the case study above, answer the following questions on your own.
1. What are some investments Mr. Pouy has probably made in her business and how would each affect the basic accounting equation?
4. Identify and classify the accounts affected if Mr. Pouy receives a cash payment for a visit.
Account to be debited Account to be credited
5 . What kind of revenue do Mr. Pouy receive?_____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________
