transam Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 my wife and I have our daughter at Sacred Heart. Over the past 2 years I've had plenty of complaints about how they operate, but still have to hope there is some quality there, being a private Catholic school like I went to long ago. Wife brought home the attached photo from the Sport's Day parade. There are many other pictures with swatstika flags, goose-stepping, and the Nazi salute, but this one stands out. Can you believe the boots and the automatic weapons of these sporty young ladies? Pretty heady stuff.... If l were you l would go to the principles office and ask WHY the school is glorifying a party (Nazi) responsible for mass murder of millions of innocent men, women and children and how it has helped your kids. .

Well, you will probably recall that one of Victoria's offspring was sent to live in Germany and pranced around in a German uniform and donned a German combat helmet where ever he went, so bringing the royals into the fray is a non event.

At the time of the Nazi problem German monarchy had gone, just a jumped up non blue eyed blond hair psycho who was angry at being a prisoner a few years earlier took millions of lives.

Yep, a fact that is quite openly taught in schools in the UK, that is the sort of thing that happens when you have more freedom of information, freedom of speech, and a vehicle to deliver it. And Thailand fails miserably on all three counts. Edited September 25, 2011 by Thaddeus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but be fair you would need to give him/her enough time to google Nazi and mass murder of millions in the 20th century, because he/she won't have a clue what you're talking about.

If she doesn't attend summer school, they said she would not be ready for the regular term. If she didn't attend their tutoring, she won't succeed in their school. Both ideas fashioned to fatten the pocketbooks of their teachers, IMO. She has way too much homework, and ineffective classroom teaching. I can't stand 'em.

You sound like a nice guy, who is just trying to do his best for daughter. It's a travesty, that a school with a name such as Sacred Heart would be money oriented, but to be honest nothing ANY religious school does would surprise me. Are you in a position where you must keep going with this school, because to be honest it sounds like a nightmare for both you and your daughter. Are there any other schools that she could transfer to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) I wonder if the school administrators realize that their Nazi parade which I predict now will be known of all over the world, brings ridicule and disrespect not only for their school but reflects poorly on the educational culture of the entire nation of Thailand, where such ignorant displays are not only tolerated, but celebrated as fun. I understand nationalism and xenophobia (it's OK in Thailand! DUH) is over the top in Thailand. However, an intelligent nationalism would give some care about how their people behave is perceived by other countries as well.

However, an intelligent nationalism would give some care about how their people behave is perceived by other countries as well. Again l agree, me, really pissed off today looking at the pics of glorification of those who murdered millions in a so called civilized part of the world. Show the kids pcs from Auschwitz.

cmsally Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I must admit I'm glad my children didn't go to this school. Because I would imagine at some point it will get into the international newspapers the same as the incident in BKK a few years. I think that resulted in the school having to make a few apologies. It is a bit confusing though, because the subject has obviously had some research, as in the character of Hitler, the flags, the goose step. So its not total ignorance. However it seems the un-sanuk parts were ignored. It looks a bit like Patpong and the Third Reich! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 This is not the WEST! It's not offensive here! It's not revolting for them. You are in Thailand not your country. Most Thai can't tell a different between a Jew a German or an Italian and so forth. They are all Farang! Well said. Many people in the UK supported Hitler ( before the war ), and recently a certain well known individual in Britain wore a Nazi uniform to a party ( or something like that ). Also, let's not forget that during WW2 Thailand ( officially ) supported Japan, and they were scarcely less bad than the Nazis ( murdered thousands of Chinese in reprisal for the Doolittle Raid ). So, lets remember that it is THAILAND, not back 'ome, whatever our personal attitudes to Hitler etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
473geo Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 A baton twirler, dressed in uniform with a swastika (the swastika which prior to use by Nazis had positive meanings for centuries) Take offence if you wish......but I'm not sure exactly what you are taking offence at Transam where is 'the glorification'........I may be wrong but I don't think this parade goes anywhere near as deep as some people here are trying to make it, in order to find it offensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of an understatement is my guess, Sally. 2. Exactly! This is not some one man show, this has been very well organised, with probably all the teachers involved right up to principle! Let them apologise, it will mean nothing, the damage has been done and the school is now..........just another poor insignificant place that kids go to be taught heaven knows what in the classroom, probably for quite a few bucks.

BarnicaleBob Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 After seeing the photos I think I see a Thai political message in this march. The logo on the black vest showed the seal of the Nazis and had printed on it RED NAZISM. When you add to this the fact they were all wearing red shirts I see a political influence there. This was drilled home to me when I opened the photo and my wife yells out "see dang, see dang". Oh well who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would happen with a school in another country depicting one of their political parties as the Nazi party. Or are we defending it along the lines "Thailand - the hub of sophisticated political themes and critical thought and expression". Honestly, talk about a good way to make yourself the laughing stock, full marks for that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
