Fitting in with fashion week we could always say:
"C is the new A" , "A is the new A++"
Surely parents can understand it if we term it as a fashion thing.

> Seven years ago I was able to lobby the support of the Manager of the Commonwealth Bank (and I am talking about THE Manager of the CBA here), to sponsor an educational share trading program for interested schools, (in the thousands of dollars). The Victorian Education Department didn't want to know about it. A few months later we were given a mouthful from a consultant, (paid a six figure sum by the department), telling us that we needed to be integrate education with industry ie:pathways to education. (Work that out!)
