NAN SCHOOL

Teacher in hot water for berating kids at gunpoint

RARINTHORN PETCHAROEN

Nan _ Around 300 residents of Ban Nam Liang in Nan's Thung Chang district yesterday demanded the removal of a school director they claimed threatened pupils at gunpoint. The incident happened on May 25, 10 days

See the Bangkok Post for the rest of the story here

Where are the checks and balances on THAI teachers? 555555

The parents found out about the incident on May 31 and were upset with Mr Somporn's behaviour. They petitioned Samai Thanasri, the acting director of the provincial education zone 2 office, to have him transferred.

Transferred? :o

Just transferred?

He should be sacked for doing such a heinous thing...

Threatening one's life over a tattoo is not a funny joke!

But being a high ranking Thai boss, I can see him walking out of this mess unscathed.

Did you see the TV clip of him and his students.. a very Thai..smiling.. WAD I did something, wrong..

But the REAL question here is: Did the tattoos protect the students or not?!!

This is about religion, not education!

There are some odd details to this story- not to say that the director's behaviour is excused by anything, but the fact that so many students have these particular tattoos- not to mention that any tattoos at all are a bit alarming at that age- hints there may be some sort of gang problem there- we may not be aware of past threats to individuals in authority in that school system by such gangs. Which doesn't excuse his actions, but at least makes them a little less incomprehensible.
