I was very disappointed that I did not make it to one of the Saturday all day workshops, but not getting to that workshop made me go to another workshop that was held at USC on another day during the week. The workshop I couldn't find, thinking it was being held at USC because it was being held on a Saturday, was the December 8th, The WOMEN IN ASIA workshop. Anyway I was once again shocked at what I heard.
I noticed that the food for the guest was up one notch in preparation and choice, and the people there seemed a little different from just teachers from LAUSD. I felt that I was with a little different group of Learners.
As the spokesmen was introduced and he began to speak I found out that I knew little about what he was talking about....China"s relationship economically with the United States. The involvement of the two countries was something I had not really pondered before. Maybe China was not just the poor country that I thought it was. Maybe China now has some plans for the United States that most of us don't even bring into thought.
Maybe this class has made me as a United State's citizen pay more attention to the Economical developments that are around the world. Maybe I really should prepare my Students for a Global enlightenment with depth, and not just teach as if outside countries are just that, outside.
