Popular Post webfact Posted July 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 School administrators threaten boycott of Kao Klai party over haircut conflict FILE PHOTO The Association of Secondary School Administrators has threatened to boycott the opposition Kao Klai party, unless one of its MPs offers a public apology and retracts his allegedly offensive remark against a school teacher who cut the hair of a student. The association president, Mr. Ratchachai Sornsuwan, said in a statement, Sunday, that Kao Klai MP Wirote Lakhana-adisorn accused the teacher in question of violating the rights of the student and suggested that he resigns as a teacher and considers himself a criminal. Although the teacher deserves to be punished, Mr. Ratchachai said the association had checked the teacher’s background and found him to be highly responsible, caring for the students and wanting them to maintain discipline.

Popular Post Stargeezr Posted July 13, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2020 It is time that the Thai government and people quit treating teachers as if they are above the law. When teachers do dumb things like cut a students hair, or abuse the students, the teacher should be fired, period. If the teacher if from a rich family, they should be charged a lot of money then fired. The corruption has to stop. Geezer 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JusticeGB Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 "Although the teacher deserves to be punished, Mr. Ratchachai said the association had checked the teacher’s background and found him to be highly responsible, caring for the students and wanting them to maintain discipline." So Criminal Assaults on children are considered to be "highly responsible and caring!"! Yet alone this poor girl had her hair cut just on one side and in front of other children to humiliate her. I had hoped that her parents would have brought Criminal Charges but in typical Thai fashion the parents and teacher just performed the wai to each other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, and it's not only kinder, primary and high schools. It also happens in universities in many forms: sexual inuendo (do you want a good grade?), giving every female in the class A for final grade and every male in the class gets B or lower grade, boys and girls getting a smack across the back of the head or hands, army, legs, and Thai students with a western family name being told things like 'farang first/family names are ugly, change your name and then I'll teach you'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Dough Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 The abuse will never end while the perpetrators are protected in this way. Whether it is the dinosaur school directors or the conniving parents themselves, attitudes need to change in Thai schools and assault seen for what it is - a criminal act of assault.

This could also include very poor grades as a punishment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
