Its the same everywhere with schools out of town. 

 

7kms out of town seems a short distance but demographics change quickly.

 

To say there are schools nearby that are over crowded is not relevant. Out of town, Thai parents generally want their kids to go to the nearest school, walking distance if possible, so they don't have to bother with transport.

 

The main issue is the amount of small schools around. Our village is only 9kms from town. Within two kilometres there are 4 village schools. About 60 students and 4 teachers in each. All of them have an assistant director and director.

 

These schools could easily be merged. Land 3 of the schools are on could be sold. This could pay for development at the 4th school and the purchase of a school bus to pick the kids up if they need. The teachers could all work in the one school.

 

The problem? As always it's down to the hierarchy. My plan would eradicate 3 director's jobs and 3 assistant director's jobs. 

I don't know were you live, but parents in my neighbourhoud, surely don't want the kids to the nearest school. It should be obliged as I wrote many times, as you are right. Kids can leave later and are back home sooner. But apparently the parents want the kids to go to schools which have a good name or seems the best in town. Therefor kids have to leave at 6 to get the schoolbus and are back home at 17.30 or so. I was teaching too in an area withe several schools not far from eachother allw ith mixed classes, as the rest of the village was going for better education to other schools in town. There are the overcrowded classrooms, but it is the policy that has to change and the idea of parents that nearby schools are not good  

while other schools are overcrowded with too many students in a classroom and too may teachers...

Oh yes the Chinese... all others we don't care about..... happy it is expected, but what in reality??? expecting, believing, estimates... but the real figures will show something else

It is going to be close to bankruptcy

I thought that official visits were not done by the PM

I know several Japanese who come several times a year only to go to music concerts, some are total fanatics worse than Thais

I suppose they are not coming for Thai artists, as they are mostly unknown in the rest of the world and /or Karaokesingers who can't sing at all

Maybe Thailand is outdated and have a few interesting things to do and show for the Japanese tourists.... If you have been once you have seen everything and over 25 years it is still the same...Except that it is more expensive because of the exchange rates and tourists scam

Selling things with the purpose of making loss will not happen much. But vaping was forbidden and again police seems to be standing above the laws..

with a lack of education of parents and teachers here in Thailand they could lower it to any age...Ban all the news facts on TV that shows criminal activities. If you watch news in the morning you only see criminals, robbers, accidents.. The worse you behave the more attention you get on TV...

I knew teachers must do it, but only Thai teachers...and I have never understood it..A teacher seems to be in school 24 hours a day 7 days a week . If they are not teaching there is always something else for them that they have to do. And indeed this is just on of the outdated laws.. There are so many to go for updating

It is a good law because it prevents people who control the media from participating in elections. 

And please explain what the problem is with owning mediashares.. Mediashares make it a good or bad person/ politician??

It is only a plan... no serious solutions as that will take several years

The northern region will experience cool to cold weather with morning fog. The lowest temperature will be between 13-18 degrees Celsius and the highest will be between 30-35 degrees Celsius. The mountain tops will experience cold to very cold weather with some places experiencing frost. The lowest temperature will be between 4-12 degrees Celsius.

From the Thaiger :)

Freezing with 2 to 4 degrees???? Freezing cold indeed but no frost

they have used the old calculators of TAT I suppose... and of course a misunderstanding as so many times
