Popular Post snoop1130 Posted January 9 Popular Post Share Posted January 9 A heartbreaking story has surfaced about a 10 year old boy who diligently works to support his family. Despite being the mainstay for his grandmother, he often has to miss classes to sell garlands in order to make a living. The boy, Guitar (nickname), missed so much school that he kept having to repeat his year and is currently still studying in his second year of primary school. Wanwisak Dinchan or Teacher Duean, who is a Thai language teacher at Ban Nonthan School, Mueang Khon Kaen District, Khon Kaen Province, has a TikTok account named kruduen24. She posted a video and shared Guitar’s story. “This is a child who has to work hard to sell garlands. He missed school often.” The teacher couldn’t stop her tears when she learnt of the boy’s plight. She drives by Guitar’s house often and looks after him for a very long period of time. Teacher Duean appealed to others to help the child.

youreavinalaff Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 (edited) One sad thing about this is the appetite on forums like this for bad news and excuses to moan. The thread about a teacher hitting a student gets 6.2k views and 4 pages of comments. This "nice" story gets 400 views and 4 comments, 3 of which are negative. Well done to the teacher for seeing the potential. Sounds like the lad is diligent and he hopefully does well. Always nice for people to recognise and act on the issues some families have.

We've had our disagreements in the past and probably will again in the future but you are spot on here. Well said. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
