Crackdown on illegal foreigners: Many claiming to be students to get fake visas

[mogandave]

Exactly. When I first looked into getting my ED Visa I went to the Immigration Office in Jontiem and I was first directed (by Immigration Staff) to talk to the lady sitting in the cafe just near the carpark of the Immigration Office. Before telling me how to go about it correctly, even Legally, she offered me the option of just paying for the Visa and not needing to attend a single Class. I obviously opted for the Legal way of doing it, and not using her. 

Of course you reported this illegal activity to the appropriate authorities..

I you do this in Pattaya you will see that 99% of the African ladies are here with student visa, bur I don't know what they learning 55.

And how exactly do you know this?

In Thailand it's better to mind your own business.

Why not check the teaching ability of EVERYONE with a teaching visa on arrival? White skin alone is not an indicator of superior teaching ability. Why should anyone pay you a salary to check teaching ability when you don't understand how to use possessive pronouns?

Choosing only a teacher because he is white is a big part of thai education problem. Many Filipinos teach better than many white farang but again it's part of Thai culture. The whiter you are the better you will teach.

Filippinos are the cause bilingual schools now have very few whiteys, they dumped the salaries. Level of education dropped accordingly. Philippines isn't exactly topping the PISA, is it.

Are you sure.?. Not being a fan of ferang teachers here, except the older English , just on conversational clarity, they are easy for me as a Non Brit to understand, and more polite. How a Thai can understand those Jordie Brits or Texas Twangers is beyong me, i cant.I learned from BBC type English in the Fifties, the Philippines dont seem to have mumblers that ive met.

Fairly sure, having had three kids in a bilingual school where farangs got replaced by Pinoys and the quality of teaching took a nose dive. Already pulled them out, as did many other parents.

So just get immigration to check the teaching ability of any African's with a teaching visa on arrival. Should not be hard to figure out who's  a fake. Pay me a salary and I'll do it myself.

"the teaching ability of any African's with a teaching visa on arrival"   Such clumsy phraseology suggests that you cannot check anyone's teaching ability. Am sorry, I wouldn't  pay you anything!

Crafty reply, were those teachers mature English ones. My 2 went to Assumption and recond they were good, but it was 17 years ago.They found out one Brit was in fact a con man Irish Barman who lasted 3 days.Frankly im happy its all over. Assumption was excellent ,i must say. What is a Pinoy. ? English Granny wore them to do Cooking.

If you can type something reasonable with a 18 month sat on your lap tapping the laptop in time with you writing something I'll take advice from you.

White tends to correlate with native speaker- that's all!  Perhaps Filipinos do teach better, but generally their spoken English leaves much to be desired.
