Bobby was excellent today and continues to make excellent progress on his smoothie business plan!
Today we discussed critical thinking concepts including measuring risk relative to reward. We showed that the relationship of risk relative to reward is not linear and that it is rare to find investments where the payoff is greater than the risk adjusted for the probability of success.

Lesson Comments
Cabo continues to ignore his homework to the point that teachers have almost completely given up on making new assignments. He continues to play video games during our session, but I am able to get his attention away to address critical thinking questions most of the time. He continues to demonstrate very high intelligence but a lack of motivation to learn or meet objectives needed to be successful.
Bobby created two new slides detailing data we previously calculated in Microsoft Excel. The presentation is coming together with facts and data to support the investment.
