Sorry to jump in, because I find it a very interesting topic.
Elina, if you put yourself in the shoes of a headmaster (owner) of a school (business). Wouldn't you be grateful if the teachers (employees) work hard, motivate students, have good results in public exams, help students with their homework, etc. Would you agree to an idea that encourages this practice? Do you see any setbacks?
Answered by Ms. Sue
Thanks, MathMate.
Answered by elina

Answered by elina
i really need help answering the question. business people would agree with this idea because....
Answered by Ms. Sue
I don't see any setbacks either. If employees and owners all work hard, then the school or business will probably be successful.

What don't you understand about this question? "Would you agree to an idea that encourages this practice?" (The 'practice' refers to working hard.)

Ok, Elina -- it's your turn. Both MathMate and I have tried every which way to explain this question to you.

How do you think you should answer the question????
Answered by elina
well all i don't get is that what do you mean by Would you agree to an idea that encourages this practice?
Answered by elina
is this right.. Business people agree with this idea because they know that thier business rises up by this. If the emplyess of the business and the owners of it work hard then obvoiusly they will turn out to be really successful
