Doom & Gloom sells ... who writes this crap.

 

Things are so much better than before.  Better educational & employment opportunities.   So much more awareness/wokeness, on how to raise children.   Social media exposing all the wrongs of the past.  They have unlimited access to information they never had before.   Actually have to attend school now.   Universal health care.

Sompong also pointed to serious deficiencies in the education system, including a lack of emphasis on democratic values, creativity, critical thinking, and the courage to innovate.

 

And who's fault is that? - School administrators, and consecutive governments over the past eight decades...

Toxic environment

 

Sompong said nearly half of Thai families are either damaged or broken from grappling with issues like poverty, debt, domestic violence and other conflicts. Faced with these challenges, many parents are failing to provide their children with a nurturing environment to grow up in.

 

Sompong also pointed to serious deficiencies in the education system, including a lack of emphasis on democratic values, creativity, critical thinking, and the courage to innovate. Compounding the problems are frequent reports of teachers verbally or even physically abusing students. Some teachers have even been caught trying to extort money from children under their care.

 

Violent disciplinary methods remain a serious blight on Thai education, says Surapong Kongchantuk, president of the Social Action for Children and Women.

 

 

I would say the gentleman is absolutely spot on, stating out loud what everyone has known for decades.

 

He should be applauded and government take note, but they won't, too wrapped up in their own selfish cocoons to care about future generations.

Not crap at all, highly accurate in my view.

 

Education improvements, you say? They've slipped again down the literacy world index yet again.

 

More awareness and wokeness?

 

You mean do-gooders spouting about trivial nonsense, and not letting parents be parents, or even worse, absolving them of their parental responsibilities.

 

The latest in wokeness from the UK has been suggested by the Labour Party, and that is for teachers in schools to have classes in teaching children how to brush their teeth.

 

My MAM will be turning in her grave at this drivel.

 

What are the parents doing whilst teachers are showing their kids how to brush their teeth?

 

Social media exposing the wrongs of the past, you say?

 

And how much attention is the government taking?  Zero!
