A typical Horrible looking local class room set up..

 

 

That looks like a fake classroom set-up. There is room for at least another 30 students in the spaces between the desks.

I'm perfectly aware of my parental responsibilities and don't need a lecture on what to do, thank you very much. 

 

You seem to have missed the point of the topic completely. You talk about finding, and paying, for a decent school. I am of the opinion that a decent education is a basic human right and the government's responsibility to provide to all children in any nation.

 

The wealthier families can afford to pay through the nose for better schools, but, the vast majority of normal Thai parents struggle to send their kids even to government schools here (read an article posted here only a few weeks ago about families struggling to pay for uniforms as an example). What about those students? Are they to be deprived of the knowledge and skills needed to survive in today's world just because mother and father don't drive Mercs and BMWs? 

 

A good education, just like health care, shouldn't be about how deep your pockets are. 

 

Hmm, and maybe I have a very jaded view of the Thai educational system.

 

We we arrived from Singapore and my son went into High School, even at that point he was at least 2-3 years ahead of his peers.

 

Now, I can't comment on the quality of private international schools in Bangkok.

 

But, I did do my homework, and he went to what was rated the best 'international' school in Khon Kaen.

 

That being said, the education was appalling, verging on the comical at times!

 

Ultimately I simply concluded that my money bought, maybe, a marginally better education than a Govt school, but really it simply bought a higher quality of friends
