As a Parent, Student or Observer: What is your REAL opinion of itinerant Farang Teachers here in Thailand who, mostly, pretend to teach? Are they dedicated to teaching, or are they mostly academically unqualified?

Just a question:

 

Are itinerant teachers a good thing, here in Thailand?

 

Do they do more harm than good?

 

What are your thoughts?

 

This is not a question which should be posted in the ED Section of TV, simply because, in the ED Section, one would expect an overly biased response.

 

(In my opinion, teachers from abroad, unless they have spent many, MANY, years here, are just not dedicated enough. Their Prime Directive is traveling the world, and they just do not have what it takes to remain dedicated, over a period of several decades, to devote their lives to teaching in any local school system.)

 

Any teacher who is willing to sign up for teaching on a long-term contract, might be OK.

 

And, then, of course, what great teacher worth his/her salt would be willing to spend 10 years here, and also, what about their background, and their caring?

 

And so, would it not just be better to do away with most of them, once and for all, and just rely on local teachers?

 

Would this not be far better?

So many BOZOS here without an MA, one might guess.

 

Such a sad thing, really, since there is such a plethora of very qualified (unemployed) people floating around without jobs, guys and gals with PhDs, MAs, etc., who might really LOVE to teach in Thailand, at a fairly low cost, one might guess.

 

All you need is the money, just enough to make this happen.

 

Kick out the chaff that exists, and select the good teachers, and only the good.

 

In fact, there are many here who care so much about enhancing education in Thailand, for sure.

 

The BOZOS must go.

Everybody here on this forum has at least one child they extremely care about, and so education is important to this forum, one can be sure.
