  1. Nothing wrong with using technology for education. It's when technology interferes with education that the problems start. Every day, at least a quarter of students in my classes are playing with their phones. I've tried reasoning with them (doesn't work) Then I started confiscating phones and tablets until the end of the school day. That's when the real fun started. Parents complained to the school, and threatened to call the police.

    It all begs the question, 'Who runs the schools?'

    I worked at a high school where the students put their phones in a basket on the teacher's desk when they came in, and got them when they left. Thai teacher. Students were good about it. Many nice phones all in one basket begging for a nice guy like me to fill my backpack with freshly picked apples. I couldn't.

  2. As I have reached my limit in "blocks of text", in reply to John Thailand John Post No #697 :-

    "Nothing to indicate he was drunk, let alone drunk as a sailor. An article that somebody questions if he was drunk makes clear he hasn't a clue. Beyond this one person suggesting he may have been drunk I have missed any other mention of anything to indicate he even drank that day."

    From the original article saying that foul play had been ruled out and that the death had been ruled suicide:-

    "Witnesses said that the man, who is believed to be named Dimitri, was drinking at a bar on New Year’s eve until around 5am, he then moved on to the Experience Party where he stayed until 11am. His friends then returned to their guesthouse, leaving the man to drink alone. It is believe he committed suicide at around 1pm."

    So who do we believe? ermm.gif

    That's such a load of rubbish. Who would believe someone would tie their hands behind their back and swing. Oh, let me guess, so he cannot change his mind once he swings. Horse manure. Tying your hands behind your back is possible, but not if one is so intoxicated. Give me f...ing break.

  3. Bakeman, regardless of what Buddhism is about, those two circus clowns are guests in another country. It has nothing to do with religion. It has to do with being respectful and behaving in a socially acceptable manner. Do whatever you want in your own country. My girlfriend tells me to run a red light; I tell her no. It's not my country. I abide by the laws. (Most of the time). However, in my country I will run a light if I want. Up to me.

  4. That's BS. You don't go to jail for phony degrees to teach at a school that takes three months to get your work permit and has you work in the meantime until the boys show up and deport you for working without a work permit. You get deported. The jokers that got locked up at the Hilton must have had other shit going on. Anyway, not my problem. I have a degree. If you're going to plunk down money just to get the paper, go for the cheapest crap place that's accredited. If you are wise, go for a decent school where you might even learn something.
