I am really disappointed by the too many "english courses" that have araisen almost everywhere in pattetthai since the last years...
Is it good for us, or for them?
Of course it allows "us" a better living BUT none of those courses will help "them" (Thai people (if not only ladies)) when not assessed by a degree or a diploma.
I may appear much conventional, but let's for instance compare them with massage courses (wat Po) : See their pride when being given a "degree", when their efforts are being recognized. It's really important for a lower-educated people to get a (first) degree, to give him more confidence in himself and in his future... unless you'd like them going back to the street-industry(ies) just after having finished their 2 months "english session".
For lower-educated thai people, a good english school (or "computer" school, or "secretary" schools, or ...):
1) should not be a business industry
2) should give formal recognition to their "students"
If you only know one existing in BKK, thank's for the help, thank you for them.
