My neighbor is a school administrator and insists he is employing as many Filipino teachers as possible. He says three reasons are well known--they work for less, they complain less, and most are degreed, many as teachers; which better satisfies the powers that be on expenses, retention, and qualification.  The more prevalent reason is because they are Asians too. He says he works with his parents association and has convinced them that having Asians teach English to their children will help assure the students that they too can learn. To improve the English programs he is using English-language entertainment venues--music, movies, TV, even sports in English--to supplement the traditional grammar and conversation aspects of the curriculum.

the thai couple on the same floor had their son go ekkamai international school from an early age. What they didnt expect was that their son over the years would pick up the phillipino accent which has become such a strain that they enrolled him at Harrow and are paying for extra lessons at an academy so he will lose the accent.

Its become a stigma for the kid the first time i met him i couldnt believe he was thai i thought he was phillipino.

I havent got any kids if i did i would make sure there wasnt one phillipino anywhere near the school after what its done to the neighbours kid

beyond the obvious illegal issues that in most lawful lands would land him in prison, he needs a lot more help for clear issues of the mind.

I've worked at two actual international schools and several that "claimed" to have an international branch. The ones that claimed were as crooked as a dog's hind leg. One of them recently got raided by immigration - someone at the school got tipped off in time and the illegal teachers scattered like cockroaches. Up until now we thought this unimaginable; we were CERTAIN brown envelopes were being passed along somewhere. This Big Joke guy seems to be as real a deal as you can get in LOS!

i wouldnt know much about this school or private/international/public schools but like you mentioned it seems to be different this time as

I went past on my way into town this morning around 7am passing through rama3 not far from klong toei and on the left was a thai school called Nonsi and on the right side were 3 tourist police wearing polo shirts with badges and one plain clothes lady pointing in the direction of the school.

So good luck to all those teachers part of that establishment

I think this was Pornpimol Kongtip at the Department of Occupational Health and Safety.

What she said is in this link: http://www.earththailand.org/en/article/485

 

Interestingly, a previous post I made referred to paraquat being banned in 32 countries. In this link it claims it's 53 countries, including Vietnam and Laos.

 

yes, that is the lady, thank you for the link

Despite the serious doubts I may have about a professional army in Thailand, I must admit the beauty of the idea. The beauty of this idea is that the consequence would be an unavoidable reform of the army which will be subject to parliamentary debate, open consultations, inputs from the public, etc... A total nightmare for the current bunch. It's a master strike, in case it has any chance to succeed. Hats down!

totally agree,this a great upper hand punch by peu thai party knowing that they follow through with their election pledges and planting the seeds and let them grow in the thai population and the thai army. Whatever the army/cpgroup/beaurocrats try next to neutralise peu thai, it wont stop those seeds growing

Europe/uk has been through workers revolutions to decrease the feudal system where by hundreds of thousands of people died. whereby now Uk/europe has gained far tighter rule of law and rights for people.

Thailand would be closer to iran/india in its civilization and way of life. Iran has had 2 revolutions in the last 100 years breaking away from feudal/claste system to be under a new religious form of dictatorship. India is still very much in the claste system and has yet to break down the feudal/claste system through revolutions

i would put Thailand in between  Iran and India in its development for a next stage of gaining more freedoms to people. Thailand has tried over the last hundred years to do this so maybe it can happen again with greater success. 

neo facist chinese to say policies to help the general public should have a profit to be unpopulist.

just another way to control all elections.

20 years ago the military and big business indebted this country to the world bank with their handling of state funds. It was the elected government of Taksin that corrected those wrongs and released the country from those debts with forward thinking policies.

he is one of Suthep's men. Quite a few of Suthep's men have found top positions over the last 3 years. This one is in place along with another Suthep man(Bangkok governor)  to water down any protests,against this mob after any elections,when people realise the mob is still in power no matter how the population votes

OP, I have heard some bar stool gossip that if you pay for a Thai elite visa, they are very careless with the paperwork and may loose the documents that say anything about overstays, bans etc.  

this is nonsense and should be left on the bar stool where it belongs

they trying to rig it with small parties and the anti-democ-democracy party plus all the 'chosen senators' which in numbers will affect any new government. Then if any new government tried to break the chains of lunacy its 'demo' street time from this lot

As I want castrated all soi dogs I want to do the same to people as him but now just want to do one more step up and dumb him in small black hole for the rest of his life 

Scumbag 

castration should only be done on all the foreign/thai's spreading sexual diseases with 10 dollar hookers in Pattaya/Jomtien. Dont you live there enjoying those women?

The arrested guy would be just one of thousands of thais/foreigners living near the bar scene pandering after underage companions

more than 400,000 people in Thailand are HIV+. 70,000 new people have been added to this list. They must be talking about reducing the next 70,000 new ones to 7,000 new ones by 2020. 

Its just nonsense but just like the rabies scare was nonsense this reduction of HIV+ is nonsense. This tells you that someone important is ordering this to their subordinates. No way that anyone would volunteer to say these kind of things with a straight face without a threatening order

21 people just died from one road accident. 

7 people die in 4 months from rabies 

one thing this lie of a rabies scare shows is how the farming and pesticide community see all other animals as pests,so as to keep their profits rolling in. Killing animals so as to keep more animals safe which are then killed for greed is just a twisted outdated form of living life.

you have more chance of dying from a toffee sweet than rabies

12 people die out of 70 million of rabies

people die all the time its life

27,000 people die from road accidents out of 70 million

lets just put life in Thailand into perspective 

anyone who abuses animals or kills animals should have the same done to them

animals abusers should be castrated and animal killers should be euthanized

an eye for an eye

you have more chance of dying of swallowing chewing gum than rabies

if anyone cant stand sharing a planet with animals then those humans dont deserve to be in this planet

its as simple as that

it was also a sham this rabies scare.

a few hundred dogs detectected of rabies out of 8 million dogs.

you have 1 in 800,000 chance of dying of rabies in Thailand.

you got more chance of dying from a boiled sweet

children are more at risk from hiv+, incest,abuse, road accidents, food poisoning, murder, rape, fighting

Thailand 2016, 27,000 people died of road acidents and 12 people diedof rabies out of 70 million people.

Nice try from some our lonely heart club members to post on the voiceless threads with their bravery confined to a keyboard
