  1. Child development is directly related to parental involvement in child care and this doesn't just mean physical care - food, shelter it also means intellectual stimulation through play and shared activities

    Most of my Prathom students don't know how to play and their parents don't recognise the importance of participating in their children's learning experience

    Why - well they never received any stimulation from their own parents - cycles repeated

  2. Just a quick point about Thais not needing to use English

    I remember having to learn many subjects to pass exams to progress to Sixth form, then University and I haven't used much of the knowledge acquired since. However it equipped me with the ability to acquire knowledge for my betterment. Hence teaching here in a foreign country.

    Learning is a process of being able to acquire skills and use information beneficial for entering the work force and showing self-discipline and task completion. OK Thais may not use English directly day to day but have to show they are capable of task completion and skill acquisition to benefit the country.

    My view is that qualified native teachers and more accountability by management (read no corruption) would have a considerable impact on results in English acquisition,
