Some students at DaVinci Academy are all too familiar with TeenBiz 3000, while others have never even visited the website. Most teachers use TeenBiz as a tool for teaching, assigning activities that go along with the curriculum they are covering in class

For some students, TeenBiz can help provide more information on the subjects they learn about in class, but for others, not doing the assignments can be harmful to their grades.

However, some students wonder what the point of it all is.

“It's boring and useless. I hate it,” says freshman Kelly Raush. Some teachers use TeenBiz as a key part of students overall grades, while others just use it as a source for students to gain extra credit points.

Teachers say that TeenBiz assignments can help increase students reading comprehension skills and vocabulary. It can also help teachers track their students’ progress in these areas.

Despite all of this, many students feel that TeenBiz can become pointless in excess.

Because TeenBiz Is online, it can be hard for students without Internet access, who otherwise need to stay after school to complete the assignments. This cuts into their time to work on other homework.

TeenBiz can be a very effective way for teachers to track the work of students. They can also see how many assignments and activities students are completing in their other classes as well as monitoring their reading comprehension levels.

Something most students do not realize is that there is more to TeenBiz than just completing daily articles. The website also has more fun activities like games, contests and informational activities to teach about skills for writing essays and grammar.

While some students admit that TeenBiz can be helpful, most students still struggle to see the objective, especially when they find themselves trying to complete eighteen assignments the day before the term ends.
