Trat: Governor is not forcing students to wear school uniform for online lessons

[webfact]

 

There was a major kerfuffle in Thailand yesterday after netizens thought that students in Trat in the east of the country were being made to wear school uniform for online lessons at home.

 

The comments came from provincial governor Pinyo Prakopphon.

 

Though exactly what he said have been clarified now by "Trat TV" an online page.

 

What the governor meant was that this would be a good idea to help students focus on their studies at home.

 

He had no intention of forcing anyone to wear uniform at home he just felt that it would help students.

 

Sanook publish a picture of the governor....in uniform.

What the governor meant was... 

With a National IQ level well below 100 it must be very hard to think of different versions of "A misunderstanding." Well done! A+

Dear Governor if you don't mean what you say, than just keep your mouth and keep that kind of ideas for yourself. Or did you had a lack of attention??

[Tarteso]

Before Yes, now No, Yes, No. I meant Yes but No..????

Most Thais want to wear uniforms so why not wear them for online schooling, or not!

What the governor meant was that this would be a good idea to help students focus on their studies at home. He had no intention of forcing anyone to wear uniform at home he just felt that it would help students.

 

Now that there is alot of negative publicity, and his insane, unhinged, backward, super tradition bound, administration encouraged, dinosaur comments were seen all over the world, he really, really did not mean it.

 

Uh, hum a na, hum a na, hum a na. Mmmmm. Well. Uh. I was misunderstood.

It was taken out of context.

The news reporters were not listening carefully. Oh, it was recorded? The recording is wrong. Fake news. 

This job is more complicated than I thought it was going to be. When I was appointed, they told me it was a bit like working a franchise. 

 

I am really alot more modern and progressive than I appear.

I am actually alot smarter than it would appear, and I am sorry only that the statements made me appear so dumb, and out of touch with reality. I am not sorry for making the statements, as that would mean I had some humility, and was capable of self reflection, which I am not.

 

Jeez. this media stuff is way over my head, and it really annoys me that I can be called out on my constant mistakes.

I have two children, 16 and 10 yrs old. The youngest is at a private primary school. Yesterday was the first day of online learning. It didn't go so well using "Google Meet" so the lesson used "Line app" and it lasted all of 12 minutes! Today is a holiday and could and should of been used as an education catch-up day, but no. No mention of any term discounts on the fees either. My eldest has no online lessons organised and I pay for her "Intensive English Program." Why oh why worry about uniforms...

Calm down chaps...it was just another "misunderstanding" AKA just another day here....55555

In uniform and with super short hairs students will learn better. Its a fact. ????????

[Benmart]

These drones love uniforms, ribbons, wings, badges and bobbles.

You mean tourists will not have to wear a uniform while visiting Thailand, Hurray!! Just about everybody else is wearing one in this country. I don't know if I have to salute or do the Wai.

Soon the Education minister will be publishing the design of the new "Online Teaching"  medal which will be issued to all teachers to wear on their nice white uniforms.
