Exempt!!

Why do teachers think they know everything? Or that they can’t be wrong? Or that us students might actually be right?

In Corporate Law class, the teacher kept saying that a business can’t be a natural person (????), that it can only be a legal person because blah blah. I refused to accept it and stated the opposite. She told me no, and the whole flock of teacher’s-pet classmates backed her up. We agreed that if I was wrong, she’d dock me 2 points; if I was right, she’d exempt me from the semester.

By chance I found this online:

“A business is the institution or economic agent that makes decisions about the use of factors of production to obtain the goods and services offered in the market.”

That means a craftsman or a tortilla maker or anyone who produces a commercial product can be a business, right?

And then I found this on the SME-dot-gob-dot-mx site, in its Business Guides section:

_“For the purposes of this guide, business activities shall be understood as the following:

1. Commercial activities, which are those characterized as such under federal laws.
2. Industrial activities, understood as the extraction, preservation or transformation of raw materials, finishing of products and the production of goods.
3. Agricultural activities, comprising planting, cultivation, harvesting and the first sale of the products obtained, which have not undergone industrial transformation.
4. Livestock activities, consisting of breeding and fattening of cattle, poultry and animals, as well as the first sale of their products, which have not undergone industrial transformation.
5. Fishing activities, including breeding, cultivation, promotion and care of the reproduction of all kinds of marine and freshwater species, as well as the capture and extraction of the same and the first sale of these products, which have not undergone industrial transformation.
6. Forestry activities, which are the cultivation of forests or woodlands; as well as the breeding, conservation, restoration, promotion and utilization of the vegetation thereof and the first sale of the same, which have not undergone industrial transformation. For tax purposes, a business is considered to be a natural or legal person that carries out the aforementioned activities.”_

If she objects because it’s tax-related, sorry, but this morning she herself gave us the sources of Law and Legislation is the first one ;)

Teacher, get that pen ready ;)
