NativeBob Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) Well, I'm a living proof of home schooling, but am not going to expose details. Just to repeat after Will Smith Quote It's a full time job to be a good dad. My 5c: do some early profiling with your kid - what is he interesting about, and treat him/her like an adult.

Popular Post pedro01 Posted June 5 Author Popular Post Share Posted June 5 Another boy is suspended. This is the lad that touched her in the pool. I spent a lot of time on the phone with his dad, who genuinely appears disgusted with his son's behaviour. He detailed the punishment his son will suffer over the long summer holidays - it is tortuous enough to believe his parents are putting in best efforts to prevent it recurring. He even told me "if you go to the police, we wont stand in your way" they told the kid the same thing. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro01 Posted June 5 Author Share Posted June 5 One thing. I did speak to the father of the boy that had his scholarship revoked (we spoke b4 the scholarship was revoked). He promised his kid would have his devices taken away - but the kid was still on social media. The kid even sent social media messages saying "my mom is angry but my dad's ok".

The wrong person emerges and he?I'll find himself in a very difficult position. But maybe he should listen to the Internet tough guys here. Everyone that's lived in Thailand knows forv40 yesrsxrecommends that farangs should go head-to-head with connected Thai's. Isn't that right? Idiot.

Good that the dad appears genuinely sincere enough and is disgusted in what his son did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my Son's school I do not think there is any one dominant nationality - Thai's are capped at 20% if I'm not mistaken and there is a large waiting list of very powerful people trying to get in..... the rest is a fair equal split of other nationalities... at a guess, perhaps about 50% of kids from G8 nations and the rest split from other nations, Indian, Singaporean, South American etc... Some kids of teachers kids, but not all... its a good healthy mix of nationalities and the standards of education and facilities are outstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid even sent social media messages saying "my mom is angry but my dad's ok". We now have a clearer understanding of why this child believed he could escape the consequences of his actions: he has never received proper guidance or discipline from his parents. It is commendable that the school is unequivocally conveying that such behavior is entirely unacceptable. However, it is concerning that the school appears to be suggesting that tuition-paying students may face less stringent consequences than scholarship students, which, in my opinion, is fundamentally unjust. Regardless, this behavior demands an unwavering response. Your daughter should never have to encounter these boys again, and every other student at the school must be assured that they are in a safe environment. All students need to know that such behavior will not be tolerated and that the repercussions will be swift and severe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is seriosuly ridiculous. Anyone who honest with themselves knows these devices are ruining kids lives. Any responsible parent understands how to utilise these devices (tablets, etc.) as both excellent educational tools and sources of entertainment. Your sweeping generalisation, based on the lowest common denominator of your imagination, is as flawed as most of your comments. Moreover, these devices have become an essential part of the educational syllabus. Children now need to have a laptop, iPad, or similar device for some of their lessons. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NativeBob Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 Indeed, this thread went into something "I saw, I heard, My friend, my GF" However it is very sad that this happened to young girl, her father has to think how to wipe that trauma from her memory and don't let it happen again.
