Outrage Again at Thai Students for Their Ignorance.

Reading the papers online today and “ the big ” story is of some Thai students who dressed up in Nazi uniforms for their sports day. In Thailand, sport days are huge.

A Thai’s Thought on Education in Thailand and Tea Money.

I was going to blog on something else tonight but after reading an excellent column written in The Bangkok Post by Sanitsuda Ekachai, an assistant editor there.

Thais Questioning the Education System in Thailand.

Today I was reading another very well written column in The Bangkok Post about Thai education. I don’t claim to be a qualified teacher, never have and never will as I do not have a degree in education. I like many other foreign nationals are like this, with degrees in other fields, Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) certificates and so on. Many of us may not be a perfect teacher, and we make mistakes, but I am sure even super teachers do, but I do hope that the majority of us foreign teachers try their best for the kids they are meant to be educating
