There is an unwritten rule that every blog about China must include the word “dragon” in the title as the country's metaphorical representation. 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).
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:
Teaching the Dragon
The Teacher's Pet, Dragon
Enter The Dragon's Classroom
Pedagogy, the Magic Dragon
How to Train Your Dragon
Chasing the Dragon's Ambition To Excel On Standardized Tests
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.
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.
