Mutilation of US Children to End
Kids grow up with a myriad of body issues. My teen years were fraught with problems. I went thru puberty in 5th grade and was shaving daily before my 13th bd

Mutilation of US Children to End
Removing a child's penis or breasts for cosmetic, aesthetic or purely psychological reasons is a mutilation of their bodies.

Mutilation of US Children to End
Most are confused because of the tripe adults put on the internet and force feed in classrooms. Growing up in 70s certainly 20+ % of my classmates were not homosexual. Ten percent seems to be accepted norm. So how do we reconcile the 10+ % ?? That's adult psychological conditioning. 1 Sowing chaos 2 Grooming children 3 Big Pharma and medical industry

The most famous people in Thailand
Probably most famous. In danger of being overexposed tbh. Most famous pop stars and actors farang never heard of. Government talks about soft power but hasn't a clue what it actually is or how it comes about / develops

Our daily dose of your stupidity If they were not used they would cease to exist. YOU don't use them. They are utilized primarily to move goods and produce shirt distances. For instance from market to hawker stall. In Chinatown they are still used for quick journeys. Another day, another clueless post

Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
Yeah, no joke. Afoot in BKK I'm always dodging motor vehicles. Even when you yield to them they still do crazy shi+ that infringes on your pedestrian rights. Win and grab food back to reckless driving on foothpaths.

The average IQ in Thailand is 89
Yeah, all those tech bros and business billionaires are absolute morons. But you... Leftist keyboard warrior an unquestionable GENIUS. When I think of smart the only leftists come to mind are the crafty lawyers engaged against Trump in the lawfare suits - but they lost too 🤣

Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
They may have just killed the entire motor vehicle rental agency business. Getting tourists off of scooters is probably a good thing, but possessing a valid driver's license I see no reason why they should not be allowed to operate in automobile. Even the worst foreign driver has got to be better than the average Thai driver behind the wheel

Thailand Tightens Rules for Foreign Drivers: Tests Now Mandatory
1 The action is based upon?? Rarely if ever read of a foreigner driving an auto causing an accident 2 Thai drivers are simply horrible. This action addresses none of that 3 just more xenophobia and additional reasons to move out of the country. 4 uncertain the exams will look something like the English ONET exams offered to Thai students currently. Perhaps they professional knowledge exams that were given to teachers but very long time ago. Both were nonsensical, confusing and often with dual answers I lost my license during COVID-19 as the DMV created all sorts a barriers to my renewal. The last of which was not giving me an appointment for renewal. The woman wanted to schedule my appointment months after my license expired despite having pages and pages of blank appointments available. Of course, those were reserved for Thai

Is English being taught in the Thai schools?
I would like to correct myself. Probably a total of 250 Under 200 to CU and the balance to Thammsat. Additional students to other professional programs and arts facilities.

Unless the student is dual passport moving west isn't a realistic option unless they are of the absolute highest academic caliber. Even then it's only the King's Scholars and a few international scholarships that provide a full ride / four year university without strings attached. Some that excel at uni have a tiny window of additional scholarships open - but grabbing a visa in a western country and moving there is generally speaking not going to happen. Women have a fairly good crack at success in Bangkok. All young people end up in mediocre universities receiving additional four years of poor education. Yes, they graduate and are often jobless and penniless and subject to return to their homes of country with nothing in hand. This is the fault of the government almost entirely directly and indirectly. It's all about math, science. To not study someone along these tracks ... To not be involved in technology, sciences is nothing short of suicide. I would highly advise Ss not interested in math and science to study and become an expert sales person. Companies will always need successful salespeople. Not marketing blah blah...but selling.

Is English being taught in the Thai schools?
I disagree. Some of the best schools and most competitive schools in the nation are in fact public schools. Mor plai is standard for students to sort themselves out into various tracks. The basics of which are math/ science versus arts. They may also be shifted into classes by ability ( /1, /2 ...) A huge issue that I had with many teachers was them incorporating art into their lessons. Thai students and all students love little art projects and they will waste unless amounts of time with it. Drawing a pretty picture or assembling some sort of project... How does one evaluate the English skills involved in that? Usually it has nothing to do with English. Most likely Health is now being taught in English not to expand use of English, but because there are just so few teachers available to teach subjects in Thailand. I believe that one of the reasons that there are so many foreign English teachers is that they simply do not have enough teachers with ANY English ability to teach the subject. To your point I see a number of jobs and vacancies advertised for health and art teachers in English

Congrats. Chula BBA is considered tops. I must have sent hundreds of students to Chula and another few hundred to Thammsat. After some years Chula fell out of my favor. I'd always appreciated Thammsats politics ... Students that I taught and schools worked wete decidedly focused on Chula. She will do well with a business degree from the university as well as the solid English skills that she already prossess. You done good pa'

Is English being taught in the Thai schools?
Yes, I have also witnessed some very serious issues with Filipino teachers as well. Convey because of their white skin thing gets quite old when you see all these problems crop up. I have had my schedule rearranged into something much more difficult because parents complained so vociferously about the Filipino teachers. I will say that they were categorically bad and were dumped at the term. Two schools Like so many teachers they're perfectly fine at the pratom level...to be fair many of the young women are excellent at this level. They really have no place in any serious School although given how poorly the NES perform I think they very well might be preferable simply because they have a work ethic, put together a lesson, etc. all things being equal at least you're not paying that high salary for nothing. I recall being taught by Filipino teachers at St Roberts bullshi+ academy for my license. In Filipino gave us this gem... When calling the roll have a little chat with each student ask them this or that... - this is nothing more than time wasting. In a costume of 30 students a mere 1 minute with each student is the better part of the class. Rather, a teacher should know precisely who is in class and who is not in class by quick observation. If we'll call is actually needed then this should be able to be completed in just a few minutes. A teacher should know most of not all their students names and faces.

My experience was the opposite. They wouldn't budge. Stuck like turds in a bog. It's as if the students were held hostage. It wouldn't do any good to name and shame. They are all sorely lacking You call them backpackers. I've never worked with a person that itinerant. What is seen was the incompetent, lazy millennial and genxr just faking it. I think many millennial get their lessons, PowerPoints and ideas from acquaintances. They don't bother to rework it, analyze the shortcomings of it they just review it and come class time slap it up on the screen and run through it with the students. They don't even bother to review the lesson as to what worked and what might need improvement after the week is finished. The lesson is shelved be taken out later the following year and the same bloody thing. A bank of these disastrous lessons are created and that comprises the arsenal of these deadly teachers lessons. As I said before I have witnessed a number of teachers that I have worked with that I have never seen them do any work in the office. Given their temperament and work ethic I know they're doing nothing at home as well. Therefore nothing is being done. *Apologies, speech to text

In a mixed language household this is both typical and beneficial. Academic and high level vocab aside - Language best learned in these every day situations. The ability to understand and use collocations is invaluable. Assuming grades and academics support: Two thirds of the cream of Thai students will get into the university of their choice - although perhaps not the faculty. That same two thirds will get into one of top three unis of their choice in the faculty of their choosing.

I do wish to also say that the annual EF English denouncement is imo suspect. Corporation seeks to sell English courses In most countries the best Ss are pushed to sit for exams such as PISA, but in Thailand it's just any old student they can corral. I had worked at two schools in which I prepped students for PISA and in both cases the administration dropped it. The students and their parents objected to them having to take yet another exam over their holiday and that was that. I have taught and had in my classroom hundreds of students that were extremely proficient in English. I have actually had dozens of students that were more in control of the English language than many of the teachers that I worked with and that is not hyperbole. I've had many students sat verbal 650+, 700 even. A few 700+

Thanks for that and good luck to your daughter. Getting a decent education upcountry is challenging at best. Most of those students do not need nor will ever use English. It's a waste of time. There should be an IP track at upcountry schools M1+. The rest can go about their lives The future is math, science and technical integration of the two. English.
