Education / Schools on the Darkside

My 11 year old daughter, attends Sawang Boriboon Wittaya School, Noen Plubwan. Her teacher came to visit us at our home, here on Ko Noi today. I thought great, I will get to hear how well she is doing, in class. LOL the "Teacher" could not speak a word of English, so my mrs asked how she was doing. The teacher, could not answer !  Said she talks too much, thats all. My daughter, does speak English, but I think that's down to me, and not the schooling.

I pay 15,000 a term, so 30,000 per year. The class has 40 pupils. I have no feedback or communication from the school , so I am thinking of alternatives. I believe the school has an English stream / class. Has anyone got any info on this, the school, or an alternative school in the area ?

Be Very greatful, for any information regarding the school, or an alternative school locally ?

BTW, I am not an offshore worker, I,m retired, living here with a small pension, so the likes of Regent school might be a bit out of my $$$ range

My daughter attend Sawang Boriboon Wittaya School and does the Chinese English program, We receive very good feedback from the school. Her classroom teacher has a Line group which informs all the parents what is happening in my daughter class. The advantage of the CEP is that the English and Chinese teachers are native speakers. The English teacher also contacts the wife on Line about the progress of our daughter. This year the school has started to use the School Bright app which again details what is going on at the school. It's all in Thai of course, but one thing that does impress is that you can see if your child attend on a daily basis. We receive all our daughter's exam results via Line very soon after she complete them. In general we are very happy with the school and with the progress of our daughter. My only concern is that the school day is very long 8 to 5 or 6 pm if she attends extra tutorion. You might consider transferring your daughter to the CEP program to receive more feedback.

Thanks Buddy. I will go up to the school today and try to get some info. I,ve let it go too much and relied on the school and teachers. With 40 to a class it must be a nightmare for all concerned.
