So my son is in 7th grade. Every year the seventh graders get to learn not only another culture but good business practice. The seventh graders get to hold Asian Market Day. They research different things about the Asian culture and then decide what part of that culture they will make for the market. The customers are the rest of the students in the school. During the day today, different classes will take a period and tour the market while the 7th graders teach about the significance of what they are selling and of course with the idea to get the kids to buy their product. The bonus is that the kids get to keep their profits after they pay off their overhead. Any way, my son and another kid are having a samuria sword fight section where $2 get you a chance to fight the winner. I haven't looked at his complete details because this is his project, but I think the class champ get a nominal prize. I know my daughter and her friends did sushi style candy and I think made some money. I can't wait to see how much profit my sons can turn today. I think it's a killer idea. I doubt he could do this in public school. You know what parents would say, "This promotes violence".
Anyway, I think this is a great idea for schools to do. Has anyone else seen this in their area?

Pretty cool. They each cleared $64 dollars after paying for their overhead.
