Smart move.. put Covid patient in the universities and we are sure that there will be no protests for a while.. I think they hope students will get infected grrrrr

Thailand reports daily record of over 2,000 COVID-19 cases, 4 new deaths

yes indeed the department of Disease control is right again.... Everything comes from the Government or related offices are lies.. They are all incompetent and don't know anything. First shouting before checking or investigate....

HAHA yes Extra Pay - great spot there KK. 

But do you think a Thai child learning English is best taught by farang with no Thai ability? My point is, a Thai teaching English can obviously speak both languages and can explain better in Thai, what they are requesting, in English?
An English speaking farang who does not speak Thai has only English to explain things in so if the student doesnt get it, maybe they switch off? After all, my P6 class were taught maths in both languages and some of the were better in Thai maths than English taught maths

yes indeed... the only problem is you speak with the most Thai English teachers, you can't understand them. their English is very poor and they teach the kids often wrong English. On the other hand I offered my lesson once to teach them Math, because the did not understand what the Thai teacher had taught them about fractions. So I explained it again and practiced with them and at the end they understood it and could do the fractions.

I've just completed producing the scores and grades for the year for the classes I teach. It was (as ever) made quite clear to me that everyone was to get at least 65% (grade 2.5).

 

I tried to make it as clear as I could, to anyone with half a brain looking at these mark sheets, that anyone getting 65% was an idle knacker who had done no work or made no effort. Any child who has worked, and made an effort, frankly regardless of the standard achieved, got 70% (grade 3). If you look at the spread of marks there is a complete void between 65% and 70%. The only real judgement was applied in deciding between grades 3.5 and 4 (75% and 80%) . At least that is fair to those children who tried, even if their true marks were really in the 60s.

And you know as well as me that our low scores probably will be changed by the Thai teacher...So mostly I gave them the real points they earned on the blackboard, so that everybody could see the points of their friends.  And zero is zero and 80% is 80% and believe me they know exactly who is participating and who doesn't do anything... but I nailed them and I hoped they would worked harder.... but that is the same as TAT for the tourists now.... hope....

I didn't know all these. I applied for an English teacher post before in Thailand but they didn't hire me because I didn't have any teaching experience.

 

So no students are allowed to fail in Thai schools?

 

Indeed, students can not fail. If they fail they come to school and because they are coming for a second time, they are passed. Of course they have to do a test again, but is not important anymore. As a teacher you are almost obliged to give high scores. low scores makes you a bad teachers. Students know that so they don't work in the lessons. They know the system and the teacher can't do anything, very frustrating, because mostly the teacher are being blamed for the bad results. Students are always the good ones, even as a few weeks ago a teacher get so angry, because she was motivated to teach them. It ended up with her resignation.  There is a lot to change in the education system here

stop stop stop.... be careful we are drowning in vaccines in a few weeks... or are it the same ones the wrote about it already??  and which one for how much where to get???

I have an vaccination passport for many years already. Hope I can use that. It is international recognised 

So business as usual.. Police won't do anything. By complaining the answer always is .. They have the right to make a party... so no problem. Especally when kids of the Phu Baan / police offers or mayors of the tessabaan or amphur are involved...With Songkran near my house a party made by a bunch of boys to celebrate songkran.. Nobody did anything. Ok it were less than 50 kids, but IMO i think Covid can be spread if there 20 together too...anyway.... If they only did their job Thailand would be much better.. But that is an illusion

If only there was a place just like the Netherlands, isn't it? 

I wonder which place in the world could be just like the Netherlands.... Oh wait, I know.... It's the Netherlands! 

 

If it's so much better there, I'd recommend going there when possible. 

I think you had a bad sleep last

night

Of course everything is fine in Thailand .. they make the people happy. Tell lies and manipulate the figures and the majority of Thailand is happy again, because they don't care, They are too busy with earning or borrowing some money to have a living, because jobs are not available at the moment, and the rich stopped spending their holidays because there are too  much days off. Everything is going down except the figures... grow grow grow...

If you don't buy the cheap Chinese ones maybe they are more trustworthy.... On the other hand how many false are there now ??

In the Netherlands now the schools get selftests for the teachers so they have to test themselves 2 times a week... Why not possible in THailand?
 

It was Sunday yesterday so .. a drop explained
