Anthony Fauci is a proven serial liar. He'll be lucky to avoid prison

Obama... Obama years lol Mr Obama will be lucky to avoid a jail cell for treason

Idiocy

Lol that's only a few years of the 25 I'd mentioned. Oil prices are much the same as they were years ago. You're no <deleted> ing economist spare me

You know...I rec'd two laughing emoji. Believe me... I'm not thin skinned - but this is exactly the mentality of teachers here.... Probably everywhere now. It's all a <deleted> laugh. Funnier still they inherit some stupid lesson from online or a drinking buddy. Do <deleted> all to customize it to their students, toss it at them... Set a due date, provide zero teaching hours assistance and then punish those that... Didn't understand the abortion assignment or totally unmotivated by it and the teacher etc... tsk tsk tsk not in on time, not up to xyz standard. Meanwhile... back to partying, smoking weed. Unless you shine brightly as a superstar teacher - you're just part of the problem. I do understand the Filipino argument for more money and white faces... Whites are equally poor teachers ... therefore they should be paid the same. If I were MOE Director I'd work out a deal with Phils government to bring over thousands of teachers. They can do equally crap job for far less money and some actually try. Unfortunately, there's plenty of turds in the private schools as well.

Yes yes...but the problem is the call. Anyway...thank you for your concern And help

Yes. I'll do it Jan but the call ...?

Another Syndrome ©®™ thread Unemployment stats are meaningless now days. Unemployment and underemployment probably 15% Issues are structural, Education, broken financial system. Biden just pumped money into the system. Everyone forgets so quickly the catastrophic inflation the entire world suffered. Economic system on life support since 2001.

But I can't because... I don't have a phone I'm only going to be there two weeks So? Complete online and presumably leave bank blank? Mail the form to Manila?? Also..can anyone comment SCB as all but BBL don't have routing numbers. What do do? Submit Swift code?

Why 8 months? We're you below 67, 65? Definitely hold out but was planning on collecting Q2

So, if as Rick says everyone gets a call I should probably use my Thai address for consistency. Thanks 👍 If I use USA and on call tell them I'm in Thailand they'll probably just forward if for no other reason than laziness How does the call work? They call me on my proper phone number here? I call them on Viber???? Thx

You care so much you couldn't even bother to spell his name correctly. It's not even close ffs What disingenuous BS

WTF are you on about? This has nothing to do with the thread just typical TD S

As Reiner was murdered Trump was clearly out if line as opposed to a triple heart attack. Reiner was a bombastic fk and took every opportunity to slander Trump. No excuse, but given his temperament and where we are right now in US politics... . Reiner was a stalwart Zionist, member of the Atlantic council and had three or more former CIA directors as advisors. Before you blah blah blah blah blah about this guy read tf up. He was a shi+hed. Mike Benz on X has it all

Well, you don't count lol. Thanks

What sort of details about work income etc ?? I've not worked in years. Kinda worried about this in particular I'm signing up online in a few weeks. I plan to direct my pension to US using USA bank and then redirecting to Thailand later. I'd really like to just send it to Thailand tbh Can you now sign up online and not need to file form to Manila ? How is it you signed up online but having SS direct to Thailand? Did you, could you enter Thai bank account details?? ** Sorry, I reread You had interview with Manila despite depositing in US account? Is this normal,? Does everyone get some form of interview? Did you lust your address out here and therefore it was Manila contacting you? Did you call them or them you? What was the Wait time? Thank you

I've no idea about the Indians. I have taught with a number of Filipinos in my first few years of teaching and found their spoken English middling If you can get past the the Visayan accent. Where are they really fail is on on the writing side. Having said that most teachers fail utterly on the writing side no matter what their race or color. Not only can't teach writing They can't write... Which also means they can't think Standard hierarchy all things being equal - starting at kindergarten to M6 education gets progressively more advanced and difficult. Moreover, teaching some BS listening and speaking class is child's play compared to a proper advanced composition course especially if it includes elements of literature, humanities and critical thinking. LS teachers are a fking embarrassment. If a teacher tells you there are listening and speaking teacher guaranteed their worthless. I met perhaps two or three that were solid teachers and that actually had something to offer the students in that regard. These classes are usually a monumental waste of time and it is largely because of the teachers

I think you're making a few mistakes / assumptions. The quality of foreign English teachers has been dire for years. I'm no longer teaching so I couldn't comment whether it is actually even worse now than it was when I left. I left teaching primarily because of the poor quality of my associates and the lack of effort they were willing to put into their jobs. Note - I stated jobs and not careers. The poor level of English spoken by Thailand is directly attributable to foreign teachers. Those at the very bottom with exclusively Thai teachers were never going to do anything with the language anyway. A number of the issues that you have cited are really only that at the bottom end schools. A teacher with any sort of interest in their career development and motivation would experience very few if none of these issues. Finally, you somehow believe that a teacher that could teach and a standard bog Thai public school would have a shot at a legitimate international school. That is simply not the case whatsoever. It's extremely difficult to make that leap. 99% of teachers in even the best Thai public/private schools would not qualify to teach at tier 2 internationals. Because pickings have become so slim in Thailand you do see ads on ajarn from time to time. Make no mistake these institutions will be extremely selective in attempting to pull out a gem of a teacher from the coal mines. I've known teachers that have actually gone the opposite way because the workload at the international schools were so heavy. The schools that don't permit are usually running some sort of scam that benefits the Director first, school second and department third. Teacher benefit does not come into play. They often burn through teachers like wildfire and look only for the freshest meat that accept the low salary and the bull<deleted>. You'd think accepting the low salary and bull<deleted> would be enough but they still grind you out and do not offer you a permit. Of course, many of these schools can be identified by obscenely low salaries but you would be surprised at the nonsensical goes on in institutions that pay above 50k pm. You would think that you actually get a better class of teacher and you 60k range, but often schools just hold on to bad teachers out of laziness. The bad teacher hold on for years even decades yet at the same time do not put anything into their lessons and teaching that might ensure them stability they desire. Based upon my decade of experience in some of the best public private schools in Thailand. I'm of the opinion that most students in Thailand and their parents are getting entirely ripped off. Just been written with speech to text I've not going back and reviewed it so there you go. If you have a high work ethic, your responsible and dedicated to a career in education and your students and have an amazing career here and change lives in the process. If that's not you and in fact that is not 99% of the teachers in this country then you should just stay home and see the students education not damaged any further

I've been out of The game for 2 years but this is fairly accurate and good information I do believe though that after your first waiver you need to be finished with the seven modules or at least currently working on them. Too much riffraff and things a bit more serious now.

Keyword searches don't really turn up much activity for topics of retirement in Thailand, expats, related...

It would not be targeted at AN specifically - not at all. Could include board members as audience as interested. Thanks @KhunLA Thanks @CharlieH

Certainly no good teachers I'd worked at five good to epic schools. WP came in 20-45 days with perhaps one around 60. I would tell the school flat out that if you do not have a work permit in hand in 90 days you will not be staying on. You don't want to work anywhere that will not permit you. You open yourself up to all sorts of problems. List is endless

This has been a standard ask for at least 10 or more years. Your university should be able to produce on letterhead and hopefully with an embossed seal a letter stating that you'd graduated from the university. In all of my waivers and llicenses I never had them actually take the letter but there you go They should be able to provide you with these free of charge from your university registrar If not a nominal charge. Ask for multiple originals The person insisting that the Gmail address is adequate shouldn't be working in a registrar's office. It's probably some punk kid part timer that attends there . This is a standard ask. If you cannot get the letter there's a very good possibility you will not get a waiver. It's sus af Definitely nothing out of the ordinary
