A 20-year-old high-school student in Ayutthaya filed a complaint with police on Monday, alleging a teacher attempted to have sex with her in exchange for a passing grade so that she can graduate.

 

The student filed a complaint with Muang Ayutthaya police station after she ran out of a motel where she said she had been taken by the teacher.

 

She said she contacted the 58-year-old teacher, asking him how she could pass a subject and graduate, after it was classified as “having no right for exam”.

 

She alleged the teacher asked her to meet him in front of a shopping mall in Muang district.

 

However, instead of driving her to school, she alleges the teacher drove her in the opposite direction. She alleged that she asked him to stop but the teacher kept on driving and tried to molest her.

 

She said she managed to take a picture of his hand on her thigh inside the car.

 

She alleged the teacher drove her to a motel and when he parked in front of a room she managed to run away and called friends to take her to file complaint.

 

The student alleged the teacher then called her and asked her not to file a complaint with police in exchange for more points to pass the subject.

because there was only one single answer to expect: "Learn, learn, learn!".
This question alone is an invitation for corruption.

But those in influential authority will usually get away with a small fine or in worst case "an inactive transfer".......

Good points, however this scenario/appraoch has been common for many years; student gets poor grade / fail, student sends an e.mail to the lecturer 'what can I do to improve my grade?' All of this stuff well known by admin. and senior academic staff.

 

Some examples of this that i'm aware of:

 

- If I clean your house every week for 1 month, will you improve my grade?

- If I give blood 3 times ...

- If I help you with your shopping ...

- If I join you in a social activity...

 

At all the universities I have contact with it's now stopped. 

 

Further, it used to be common for many professors to allow 're-exam', which can have several meanings, most commonly student allowed to sit for same questions or different questions a few days after initial grades announced.

 

Also, professors must nowadays send an e.mail to the dean/director with a detailed specific explanation, reason to clearly prove there is a valid case to adjust a grade after the event. Professors not allowed to do this regularly.

That couldn't be worth more than a C+ on the police report.

Aaah , the perks of being a teacher .

20 year old high school student???? 

Not real bright then. 

 

[IAMHERE]

Wonder if the teacher was set up? Hope we get to hear his interpretation of events.

[Rhys]

..hmm what subject did he teach?

I thought nobody failed in Thai schools as a matter of policy. Just put

in your time and on you go.

And I was wondering how the #ell my Thai ex gf ever got her Masters Degree in Business Administration. My by then 12 year old son, who was living in Europe, knew more about it than she did.

Or just from a poor family - plenty of families pull their kids out at a young age and get them to work. If they want to continue, they must complete the high school levels before moving on to anything higher.
