And I was also thinking like the above members. But, after giving it another thought, maybe the merging could result in combining, say, grades 1 through 3 in one school building, and grades 4, 5, and 6 in the other. Both schools remain open, but each has greater efficiency with combining classes.

If there are only a half dozen (or even fewer) kids in one grade in the old schools, combining classes would be good, up to a point. I knew of a school that had only 2 kids in the 5th grade. That was many years ago, and today that school is closed. Most rural neighborhoods don't have 30 or more kids all the same age. And if there were larger classes like that, I'd think that those schools would not be among the ones being considered for the combining scheme.

Over all, not a bad idea, I'd say.

Fair point, well made.

"His family said he had been injured in two previous falls."

How about a little less conjecture and waiting for the facts to emerge?

Nah thats not going to happen is it.

Merged? So let me see if I have got this correct.

2 schools "merge"

Then operate from 1 location.

Help with transport provided, if location is further away.

So what happens at the other location?

Is that location, now CLOSED?

Asia's next top model ;-)

The police are just mad because Koh Tao is turning into a pattaya, we have mass suicides and murders daily..

"Mass suicides and murders daily" Really???????

Come on enough bulls excrement.

Russel ... stressed the United States would not be taking sides in Thai politics, but that the US government remains concerned about the junta’s continued use of martial law and restrictions on free speech and assembly.

"We're also particularly concerned that the political process doesn’t seem to represent all elements of Thai society," Russel said. "An inclusive process promotes political reconciliation, which in turn is key to long term stability. That’s where our interests lie. The alternative – a narrow, restrictive process – carries the risk of leaving many Thai citizens feeling that they’ve been excluded from the political process."

That is a sensible statement ... wonder if the Fascists in Thailand will get their hair up over it.

Gen. Prayuth repeated to reporters today that his military government is not allied with either of Thailand's political factions,

Which is why the current 'NLA' is so representative of the broader Thai society.

A sensible statement - from a country that denied African Americans and Native Americans any form of inclusion for a very long and fairly recent time.

The US seem happy to deal with crooks, and dictators when it suits that catch all exemption "the big picture". Other Western governments were quick to jump on the bandwagon and also don't have clean sheets.

Thailand has a thick skin.

But what the hell, niether am I.

I suggest he retains an lawyer and issues a law suit for defamation and punitive damages.

Nasty foriegners, it's all so unfair!

I have every intention of sitting in the house and refusing to look as I have not been invited. I shall of course send my son out to look, but only with one eye.

I am sure he will report back with 50% of the information, but that is the norm.

Wrong country try India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Cambodia. They are the top 4 I can think of.
