What about what these rising percentages of luxury consumerism are actually going to do to the luxury market? It is more likely to create a bubble and wash it out. That's why they want Chinese to shop domestically. They want to create two different brands. They want one Chinese brand, and one other "international" brand that has a different offering, because we are talking a lot of consumers. And luxury is not meant for "a lot" of consumers. It's meant to be luxury.
I'd love to see a more accurate depiction of what is really going on with the luxury market -- like it's erosion.

Wow, I sound like a teacher. I happened to have been one at one point, too.

If a culture is formed by people interacting together in a social way, and collaborating to make something, I can't see why we have to depend so much on union lobbyists and reps and politicians. Why can't we put schools in the hands of teachers, students and education experts / professionals?
I think it's because an education is a national resource, and just like oil, gold or natural gas, it is a precious commodity in its current form, and it is linked to money. If we can adjust the system so that it is more about learning and more about social collaboration, using technology and media, I think we can boost the performance of everyone, regardless of money. We need to link up teachers with entrepreneurs and outside of the box thinkers. What are people's thoughts on this? I am interested to hear your responses.

Also, I found it interesting that the teacher just on said that the kids do well because, I think, that there is no competition from other schools.
