Fat is a type of crazy Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I am back in lockdown in Australia. I always hope meetings are by phone and not video so you can be dressed any how and do the dishes or sit in the sun or whatever as people talk. No less productive. Kids may be different.

ThailandRyan Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Headed out to the school in the morning to pick up the materials needed for the online teaching that will start on next Monday. Wonder if there will be a not that the daughter must be in uniform attached to the books and papers that need to be turned in at the end of each week. From the sounds of it, it would appear that school wont be in for awhile with in-class studies here in Bangkok. Wonder how all the students whose parents have to work are going to get the on-line work done if they have no tablet and they are left home alone....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moo 2 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Mme Chorraba, so what you are really saying most countries where students don't wear uniforms don't follow orders and are not disciplined!

Rampant Rabbit Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 3 hours ago, Pilotman said: Its 100 kinds of sensible, unless you have no real interest or commitment to your child's attitudes, discipline, application and education. Many families who home school their kids, insist on smart dress for the child and the Mum or Dad when they teach. It sets the scene, that this is a serious learning time and not game play. Discipline is getting up, making your own bed , doing the washing up and household chores, thats' what kids need for discipline, they could work naked just fine online would make no difference. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThailandRyan Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Indoctrination measures are clearly observed and it is no wonder they rank in the bottom Third in the world of countries for education. Education Rankings By Country 2021 (worldpopulationreview.com) Thailand’s Performances in the World Competitiveness Rankings – Office of National Higher Education Science Research and Innovation Policy Council (nxpo.or.th) For several consecutive years, Thailand has scored the lowest among ASEAN countries in terms of the university education meeting the needs of a competitive economy, indicating the inability of its higher education to meet the demand of industries. The university education index derives from the Times Higher Education (THE) university rankings. Globally, the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021 lists 1,527 universities and the top three universities are the University of Oxford, Stanford University and Harvard University, respectively. Within the ASEAN region, two universities in Singapore are listed in the top 100, whereas none of the 17 Thai universities participating in the ranking appeared in the top 100 rankings (Table 2). To improve the THE university ranking, Thai universities will need to improve the quality of their education and research, as well as boosting revenues obtained from industries. It is also imperative for Thailand to reform its higher education system in order to address these issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally agree with you 100 % on this issue, but Thailand also has to address its skills shortage. Vocational Colleges Etc have to also up their game and get into the modern dynamic world. I am not talking about the skills required for Robotics, CNC, AI, and Coding Etc, I am talking the basic skills required. Electricians, Electronic Engineers, Building skills Etc. These are the core skills that can make a big difference. Produce people that can do the job correctly Thailand has a policy where everything seems to be taught, but absolutely nothing is learned the way it should be. Maybe this has something to do with the fairly low National Average IQ in Thailand, or poor teaching practices. For whatever reasons the Thais need to get a Handle on the situation, and fast, as they are being left well behind by Countries such as Vietnam. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrunchWrapSupreme Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 "Order and discipline", hilarious. These things are rare in the Thai classroom. In my usual classes of 40, only the front row of 6-8 are usually engaged. The rest just go nuts and do whatever, and there's not much that can be done about it. There are no disciplinary consequences. If the teacher tries to apply them, they'll likely get complaints from the parents. If the teacher brings it up to their superiors, the response is something like "why are you making trouble?" Thus, a usual lack of order and discipline. Thai teachers are well aware of this and often make themselves absent from the classroom, attending meetings, "busy" in the office, after having dropped off packets of worksheets. Last year my classes were shifted to online for a few months when the Covid cases spiked. Students were in pajamas, had cameras pointed to the ceiling, had silly photos in place of live video, or simply had their cameras off, likely having gone back to bed. When I brought this up, "these are difficult times, we all have to adapt". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is night and day. The children are inquisitive, ask many questions, have an answer for everything, keep the convos going, and are oh so polite. The adults are sharp, business savvy, motivated to develop and succeed. Despite being lacking in their English, I doubt it'll remain that way for long. Not to say I haven't had some excellent Thai students at this level. But given the number I've had online, I have a feeling they're outnumbered by these Vietnamese. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 13 hours ago, ikke1959 said: That is your idea in the western education system the students don't wear uniforms and the results are better than here. Give kids freedom at home instead constantly be pushed to do things without reason You must have been out of the UK for a long time. Back in the 60's, during the great social experiment of Comprehensive schools, uniforms were not required at many of them. It has changed drastically and now all schools have uniforms, often very expensive with headteachers getting kickbacks from the suppliers, parents not allowed to get cheaper alternative say from ASDA. There are major complaints from parents on low incomes about the cost of uniforms. Hull, where I'm from, every school has a compulsory uniform. It has been known for schools to change the uniform (Blazer colour) during the summer holidays to force parents to buy new ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 In Thailand the attitude of the teacher and it looks like people in the administration all have their ego power trips. I am not surprised with the bit uniform kick . In Alberta it is only the richy school that insists on a uniform. I have never seen where the uniform , has done a lot for education except make all the students look the same so that they are not worrying about how they all should dress. It does make the cost of schooling more for the parents and not all people in Thailand are rich. Just look around some times. As always the rich, have no problems with money, so they love the uniforms as they can afford to keep buying new ones for their precious kids. It will just be a nice day when all the students can safely get back to in class learning at what ever school they have to go to. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
