Ten Things I Learned in Playshop

These are 10 things I learned from Playshop this summer, especially while helping out in Teacher Enchang's class:

1) Stage mothers (and fathers too) often get a stigma of being too meddlesome, but the truth is that they really do care about their children THAT MUCH
2) Sam Concepcion has a cult following among the adolescent and will sometimes get randomly mobbed by girls
3) Being a teacher is one of the most tiring jobs in the universe
4) It doesn't take long before you know who everybody's crush is in the class
5) Teaching is not just getting a student to learn a set of skills but sharing your life with someone and mentoring them
6) Kids appreciate it when you relate to them at their level and not look down at them
7) George Gabriel looks like Mr. Bean
8) Whichever restaurant is closest to the classrooms doubles their sales during the summer (this year's winner is KFC)
9) Maita Ponce is a very good teacher and I'm really proud of her
10) No matter how many times we correct her, T.Enchang will always call Maits, "Maite"

Hey, one of the CT kids also also call George Mr. Bean! I don't see the resemblance though. Care to enlighten?

And regarding parents, yes, we do understand that they care very much for their children, but they have to balance that love with a certain level of trust and belief that the teachers are professional and care for their kids as well.
