We have business blogs (“Managing the Dragon” and “Dragonomics), cooking blogs (“Feeding the Dragon”), and even Intellectual Property Rights blogs (“IP Dragon”, a site with not one, but two mythical Chinese creatures in its title). <br /> In deciding to take the plunge myself, I began searching for a name that could follow this rule while alluding to an education theme. Considerations included:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Teaching the Dragon<br />The Teacher's Pet, Dragon<br />Enter The Dragon's Classroom<br />Pedagogy, the Magic Dragon<br />How to Train Your Dragon <br />Chasing the Dragon's Ambition To Excel On Standardized Tests</span><br /><br />All of these manage to be simultaneously cliched and awkward. Therefore, I am forced to begin by breaking the cardinal rule of China blogs, and go with “Learnin' China” as the title. <br /><br />The site will chronicle the experience of running a business in China's education sector. It's neither a guide nor a warning. Just facts, occasionally embellished to protect the innocent.Jonnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01675918496520238215noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963518890218197448.post-32407349269068905622010-07-24T20:48:00.001-07:002010-07-24T20:54:10.951-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2gKSLNHWfIjRYGQoBmmL6p_a5WW7OBd_1_ZSpVK95lm7gC3q3s6kz1RbuVuTOAkJCpJ35rYkMknY8W3QzClmTy8KKlTH3-lxgohfj_GdjjC5Sh6NzESuJEq7SCsyU4HnqXdYpBAwbLWk/s1600/01052010864.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2gKSLNHWfIjRYGQoBmmL6p_a5WW7OBd_1_ZSpVK95lm7gC3q3s6kz1RbuVuTOAkJCpJ35rYkMknY8W3QzClmTy8KKlTH3-lxgohfj_GdjjC5Sh6NzESuJEq7SCsyU4HnqXdYpBAwbLWk/s320/01052010864.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5497686407737487298" border="0" /></a>Jonnyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01675918496520238215noreply@blogger.com0
