We are Chinese if you please, We are Chinese if you don’t please
Summer Camp in Shanghai was a wonderful lifetime experience. I was very lucky to have had taught very young impressionable minds. They were so well mannered and very eager to learn. I believe these kids really have what they want being that they come from the supplier of the world: China. This school was also an international school not government school. I learned the difference with international and government schools: privilege. So far we’ve learned about food, different cultures, the rainforest and different types of transportation. The amazing thing about teaching children is the use of a gauge system to measure the classroom: the brightest, the fastest, the slowest, who has a learning disability and whom is completely challenged. It is a very skillful task to work with different levels of students from a different culture. You are their teacher, mother, father and caretaker. When you become attached to these children you also become a parent, you want to help them to develop, advance and create. Human development is a very broad subject, however, when mastered and understood can be used to make one progress. Truly, teaching in Shanghai has made me a student.
