  1. Here's another angle; sure everybody wants uni students to enjoy university. But all of this has gone way too far.

    Why should juniors be servants to seniors? There is no rational reason for this to happen, none at all.

    All students have the right to just attend and learn and not be harassed in any way.

    The childish 'fun' which now dominates most of the attendance time, including actual class-room time, has got to the point where learning takes second place, which longer-term is not desirable.

    So many youngsters are now in this mould, they laugh and deride their teachers who continuously have to stop the class and ask them to behave / to listen / to stop talking loudly to their friends in the class / stop playing / texting etc., on the smart phone. etc.

    They do poorly in exams and get a final low GPA then blame their uni, their teachers etc. Or they contact their professor and ask for more individual assignments* to hopefully up their grade. In reality the 'extra assignments' route is a poor approach and far from ideal because nobody knows who actually wrote the assignment. (* fairly recently I've received several e-mails: 'If I send you proof that I have given blood twice, will you change my grade to A ?' )

    It's now showing in the workplace, higher and higher numbers of new graduates in their first job cannot pass probation.

    I know of several Thai and Japanese companies who now have policies that they now don't ever employ new graduates in many fields:

    - These companies all now have policies that the youngest age for new recruits is 25 / 27, in these fields.

    Worth noting is that youngsters who come from schools where they gain a technical certificate needed to get production line jobs in IT / hi-tech manufacturing etc., have quite good on-the-job behaviors and attitudes.

    Why should juniors be servants to seniors?

    Good question- if you are looking for answers, ask a senior Admiral an army commander and even the army's spokes person...It's possibly just another part of their culture we don't understand.

  2. Let's hope he gets and acts on some good PR advice.

    The international media are not as compliant as the local version and he's not playing at home so if he throws a tantrum etc they'll shred him.

    Don’t worry his adjutants will carry a huge stock of bananas when needed
