[quote=Anonymous]Here's MY WAY to fund this trip: 1. Take kids to China 2. Tour factories in Guangzhou or wherever. 3. Buy stuff from the factories. 4. Bring it back to the U.S. (each kid can bring back $400 worth, duty free). Sell it here as a "fund raiser", in person or online. Trip paid for! What would the educational goals of the trip be? 1. See how the crap you buy gets made. 2. Realize that you should aspire to do really well in school, otherwise, you will be LUCKY if you even get a job like those in the factory have. 3. Learn how to buy low and sell high. 4. Bonus: Memorize Chinese slogans on display in big characters at the factories, like "Work harder for better life"! or "Birth control is everyone's responsibility!" I discussed my proposals with Yu Ying's leadership, but alas, no one seemed interested in changing the current trip format. So anyone want to organize their own trip along these lines?[/quote]
