hmm, isnt this the goal of schools anyway or are they just poor baby sitters? Seems so because a lot of teachers just sit on their phones all day long. Atleast they will get newer 5g phones i guess.

'smart classrooms' If only it would include smart teachers too.

 

I wrote this a couple of weeks ago in another topic:

For years I've always said to my son that if he doesn't understand something, to ask rather than sit there and not say anything. Not a Thai attitude I know.

A year or so ago he mentioned to me that his teacher had given him a bit of a hard time for asking questions.

He said that his dad had told him to ask if he didn't understand something.

The teacher's reply: "Well it's not the Thai way to do it." Hence he stopped asking so much.

Sounds great ,But isn't it up to the Student and the Teachers to Enhance the Students Skills? If either one isn't doing their Job (Teacher Must Teach-Student Must Learn) I Think that there's a Lot off money going to be Wasted and going to the Wrong places .No amount off money is going to do any good if they can't get the basics right (Teaching-Learning)   ????

Another 51 Billion Baht wasted as nobody in the Schools is interested in enhancing Children's Education, or indeed their 'skills'.   Bulk of these funds will be siphoned off in one way or another...shameful but TIT.
