In my experience, Thai government schools are among the worst when it comes to rote learning. There is also an unhealthy imbalance of power in some cases. Teachers are given excessive authority, and for a minority of them it feeds an ego that allows them to behave as they please, often with little fear of accountability or consequence. No phone use is allowed throughout the school day unless it is specifically part of a lesson. That said, the school does use an app to monitor and log homework, so students will need access to their phones for that purpose. Thankfully, I haven’t heard of any bullying issues so far. The reality, of course, is that students will still sneak the occasional message here and there, and I’m sure most teachers are aware of it and quietly let minor things slide. But the overall expectation is clear: phones should not be seen or openly used during the day. There’s also the issue of accountability. What happens when a phone goes missing? If parents choose to give their child a $1,000 phone, it shouldn’t become the school’s or a teacher’s responsibility to manage, store, or be held accountable for it. At that point, you start creating liability issues that schools understandably want to avoid. It natural progression - schools / teachers have to keep up.Sat, 16 May 2026 08:12:29 +0000Sat, 16 May 2026 08:12:24 +0000I was waiting for this hackneyed comment. 🤔Sat, 16 May 2026 08:11:51 +0000The Thai system is much better.
