[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From what I hear those parents and kids who went on the trip had a great time.

The idea of taking a trip to China has traction.  Obviously there are ways to improve it.

[b]For example, I think the post above about visiting factories is actually a good idea[/b].[/quote]

Why?!?  You really think that's appropriate for 5th graders.  OK  [/quote]

Uh, have you never heard of taking a factory tour?  Lots of families in this country go on factory tours.

Example: Visit the Harley-Davidson factory in PA.  The Hershey factory in the same state.  The Ben & Jerry's factory in Vermont.  The Anheuser-Busch brewery tour in St. Louis, MO.

They're great family fun.  Although the tours above come with some expected company propaganda, there are important lessons to be had in any case - how stuff is made, and that real people have actual jobs making things.  And some jobs are more interesting than others. [/quote]

So you think there's are Chinese equivalents?!?   [/quote]
