Perhaps the lack of mother and proper baby milk + healthy food plays a roll in the lack of IQ levels too. Schools, teachers, and the education system are severely lacking, when the kids leave school where they have been treated as 5yr olds to the day they leave, it is no wonder they are immature.

BangkokReady Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 13 hours ago, FalangJaiDee said: I’m really curious about this phenomenon. Does anyone know the “reason” why there’s literally gun battles in the street between vocational schools This sort of tribalism or territorialism leading to violence is common throughout the world. Vocation schools obviously have a different "type" of student, so that might increase it. It's also probably kind of expected of them in the kind of "show you're a man" kind of thing that some young men go through. There was even a movie recently "4 Kings" that glorifies it. I wonder if also the "love your school" type of indoctrination that Thai schools have is related. Basically, I think if you look at football hooliganism in the UK, you will see quite a few parallels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar for me to watch at the neighbor. Another brat offloaded at the grandparents. If he doesn't get what he wants in an instant he will hammer/beat his grandmother. Shouting, crying, kicking dogs for no reason. I fear to see this Somchai grow up. I am happy that we only have girls in the family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unemployment is high, outlook for youngsters is grim. Go back 150 years to Victorian Britain it was local street violence, aka Peaky Blinders et al, primarily in poor Irish immigrant communities. Football violence in England during the 70s & 80s was largely unemployed working class youth, a time when the old industrial jobs were starting to disappear, and again youngsters saw little or no future.

There is almost nil unemployment in U.K. (vacancies now exceed the number of unemployed ) and less than half the rate of France so your claim is nonsense . Other minorities,particularly Chinese and Indian,excel in educational achievements and feature very low in crime statistics . Closer to home I brought my 9 year old non English Thai stepdaughter to U.K. placed her in the local school and just watched as she achieved A levels in English and maths then a First class honours in Business economics. One interview and a well paid job in E commerce followed. But unlike much of that other community she got her head down and worked. History is history, and the current problem of absent father black children in thrall to Drill ,gangster rap role models and street violence is a self inflicted disadvantage that culture and community must take responsibility for itself.

It means a better candidate gets the job -as it should be - or the rejected candidate wasn’t qualified. Employers are desperate for staff so costly for them to discriminate.
