 Litla chewed the end of her pencil as she considered a response, tail twitching absently. Ah, she wasn't quite sure where she stood on this.... maybe writing without focusing too much on her words might work?
'I think, to an extent, the customer should be given some benefit of the doubt or, in trivial situations, the customer should be considered right to avoid any complications for the business in the future. However, that doesn't mean they are always right at all times. I believe if the issue is grand enough, the customer should be treated accordingly. Sometimes, the customer is wrong to such a degree it'd look bad upon the company if they let it slide.
You need to play your cards right, essentially, and ensure that whatever tactic you take benefits the business. While customers should be respected, and probably given more leeway than usual, there are situations where a business needs to properly discipline or react to a negative situation, which in turn will boost their response.'
There, that.... fit. Sure, it wasn't as elegant as she'd like, but at the end of the day she had discovered a new method to getting her thoughts out when she was thinking too hard on the subject. Now, time to turn the paper in.

 Cherubi wasn't a fan of writing, or, really, school in general, but she was a fairly opinionated Chimera. So, when asked for her opinion, well, she was more than happy to give it.
'The customer isn't always right, no. It's pretty sad that businesses are so scared to tell a customer no, or to correct them. The fact that we live in a world where we have to bend over backwards for people just because of money is pretty sad, all together. I mean, it's a problem with entitled customers, honestly. Customers feel entitled to things, and if they don't get it they whine and complain to the media, and bam, bad press. It's like people suddenly lost the ability to hear the word 'no', or not get what they want. It's selfish, honestly.
I think that, if I were ever to personally run a business, I much rather run it into the ground then let someone control the thing I love, you know? If the customer is wrong, well, tough, they're wrong. It's not my job to hold their hand and babysit them through everything. Life is tough. We need to stop letting everyone walk all over us! It's just further catering to the belief employees aren't necessarily able to stand up for themselves. At the end of the day, we're all people.'
She wasn't sure if that was the wrong answer, honestly. Was there a wrong answer? Shoot.... did she have to study for this?

If Honey ever wanted to start their own nightclub, they'd have to learn some basics about trade and business. That said, logos hadn't been something they'd ever considered. For what was probably the first time in their life, Honey actually had to put in some effort for class. When they finally showed the teacher their design, Honey was beaming with pride.

Eilwen's future goal was to have her own business, something small and private. She wanted to design buildings, bridges, businesses, homes, you name it she wanted to work on it. What sort of logo should a business like that have though? She thought back to one of her favorite miniatures that she had made as a kid. It was a beautiful bridge, but she's need something a little more simple for a logo. She drew a basic outline for a bridge and under the arch she wrote "Eilwen's Designs". It was pretty simple, but she was sure one day she'd have an actual logo to be proud of. She was still happy to show off what she had made to her teacher though.

 Two things that they thought should be included in the school shop? Briefly, Binhdi closed her eyes and thought. What sort of things were already in the shop? Candy, supplies like pencils and paper, nothing to really write home about ultimately. As she sat at her desk and thought, she had something of a brain storm. Quickly taking up her pencil, she jotted her ideas down until she had a longer than required list. Which, really, only meant that she had great ideas. But she’d have to narrow the list to two. Oh well, it was still an entertaining enough assignment. It was just too bad that it was likely only a mental exercise.
Staring at her written out list and reasons, Binhdi sighed a little before finally deciding to let random chance pick her answers. CLosing her eyes and then stabbing her pencil twice into the paper, she glanced down at the paper. Then, with a smile, she got a clean sheet of paper out and neatly wrote her two answers down.
• House Pendants for dorm room decorating
• House t-shirts/sweatshirts
Really, this was a pretty fun assigment.

 Gwen didn't mind this assignment at all, trade was kinda interesting and she was somewhat eager to mention what she wanted to see in the school shop. Gwen thought about all the things she wanted to see in the school shop. Gwen listed out about a hundred things before she decided on two that she really wanted. Microscopes and science kits. Gwen nodded then and looked around the classroom wondering what others were writing about, Gwen sighed. Wishing she could find a science base class she liked, but she hadn't had much luck on that just yet. Though perhaps it was better to look at other subjects, see what was out there, figure out where her dreams lead her, or if she discovered a new dream she hadn't expected to find. For all Gwen knew maybe magic and alchemy, was her true passion and not science, Gwen thought she had taken that class but hadn't gotten word on whether she has passed or failed yet.

Ganymede had decided to take this course because he figured it would be useful later in life when he started selling things. He hadn't exactly expected to get a lesson on fair trade, though. He'd always just assumed he'd make things himself- but he hadn't really stopped to think about where he was getting his fabric from...
Fair Trade is a practice that makes sure that people are properly compensated for their work. It's a policy that prevents companies from working employees to the bone for long hours with very little pay. Fair Trade is necessary for industry, since the flow of money defines the quality of life a person can have.
Figuring that was good enough, Ganymede signed his name at the top, along with the date, and then passed in his assignment. This certainly opened his eyes to a new side of his future ambitions that he hadn't really thought of before.

 Amethyst considered the fair trade agreement fair prices for underdeveloped places seemed like a smart and fair thing to her and that's what she put in her paper. After all paying less than they deserved was not only unfair, it was foolish. Paying developing areas well could bring them wealth, which could open up more business and trade. Ame felt that progress was important, she wanted to see more businesses open up. Ame considered the new people who had just come to the Bellow, the kumiho. That Ame had seen on the news, she would find it horrible if anyone tricked any of them into taking a lower price than they deserved. She shook her head, it was one of the reasons she wanted to go into business law, contracts could protect business deals and help to make sure everyone got a fair deal. Writing out everything so both parties could read over the contract and changes could be made as needed.

Foras figured that some day the things he learned in this class may just come in handy. After all he might open a shop of his own some day and at the very least he'd be selling his art (at least the ones he didn't keep of Ganymede anyway). He was a little surprised by the question posed in class, but he supposed it was something everyone should know about.
Fair Trade is a practice used to make sure both parties receive equal compensation for their good and time spent making those goods. It prevents brutal conditions for workers. It is a necessary practice that keeps works happy and the quality of life for individuals high. Above all it promotes sustainability.
That was...probably good enough right? He hoped he had been good at putting it into words. Sometimes he wasn't always the best at that!

 Coralie looked down at the paper for class, wondering what to put down. How exactly could she explain Fair Trade? Was this the official answer, or what she felt it was? Maybe it was best to incorporate both of them? Nah, this class was supposed to be more professional, so it was best to give the actual answer. A trade that helps producers of lower wealth and poverty, or simply from a different location, to get a price that is fair for goods and services. This is done so both parties involved get exactly what their trade is worth. Both parties get a trade that is equal for goods and services, so one party will not get the heap of the benefit while the other suffers. This helps to prevent discontent and unequal wealth, especially for the party that would of been getting the lower end of the trade. It may cause one party to not receive as much wealth as they could, but it prevents any negative outcomes from it all in the end.That sounded like enough right? Sure she could put more, but it would just be repeating herself over and over. That wasn't a good thing at all, so this would have to do. It was a good thing this fair trade thing was a thing, or else another war could possibly happen!

Congratulations, you passed!
The following student did not pass:
Midnightglow18 Amethyst - Amethyst did not define Fair Trade, which was the prompt this month! Reflection on the topic and defining it are two different things. c:

 Jacintha knew that in order to make a logo you needed to know what you were selling. In this case the imp decided on herbs, flowers, other sorts of plants, and magical items. Now it was time for the name, at which Jacintha soon found out she wasn't very good at. In the end she ended up just going simple, Flowers & Magic. There wasn't a lot to the name, but at least it showed what she would be selling at this imaginary company. Now it was time for the logo, the main part of this assignment. She decided to focus in more on the plant aspect of the company, picking a bright red flower that had a long horizontal stem that had a small swirl at the end. The company name would be in red on the stem of the plant, staying with the curve of the stem as to make it look more professional and not so sloppy. She then added a bit of shading to the petals of the flower, stopping her work to admire what she had created. She liked it! Simple yet got the point of the company across, which was what a logo should be. With her project all done, she got all the components of the assignment ready before getting up and turning it in.
