You know, that's not a bad idea. I think some places already do that.
I remember in my high school econ class we had to "run" a corporation. There was another exercise in which we split up into 4 groups and had to represent 4 different "interest" groups in a case study involving development of beachfront property:
1. endangered piping plover (a sea bird)
2. local community
3. developers
4, I can't remember - maybe the govt?
Anyways, it was a great exercise cause we had to research and discuss then we had a "town hall meeting" and made presentations.
In our business class in high school, we had to submit business proposals including bdugets and stuff.
In any case, it's always a good idea to sort of let kids (or anyone for that matter) have or experience a sort if hands on experience.
You know in health class they have one project where they have to take care of an egg up as if it was a baby?
Well why not run a small business? I think it would be a great learning experience. Plus write about it etc...
Maybe the unions need reform. I don't think they started off or were intended to veer of course like this.
Um, why would the democrats get an increase in wages? Or do you mean unions?
