I work at an agricultural college and here are some examples on what you wrote:

CP gave 200 gees to the college, many of them died because the animal husbandry teacher that was put in charge of taking care of them didn't know what to do!? He has a Master's Degree in animal husbandry majoring in poultry production... his defense was that he had only studied about how to take care of chickens and ducks!?!?!? (apparently he can't use google either, only Facebook...)

We have 5 computer teachers working here, neither of them can install a printer unless it's just plug and play and they send any computer that don't work to the shop instead of fixing it them selves... my other coworkers asks me for help when they have problems with their computers!!!

The head of my department has her PhD. in microbiology and that is all she knows and she has no knowledge what so ever outside her own field. I even had to help her to change the camera setting on her mobile from being video to taking photos... all menus in Thai and I can not read a single word in Thai!!!

But on the bright side, I have several students that has been abroad (Europe, China and Japan) for internships and to study... they have better general knowledge about life and their chosen profession than most of the teachers here!!!

 

 

You said it clearly. Anybody else who will keep posting something different is just as useless as Thai students are.

I'm not saying that someone is dumb because he/she are not good with computer, the problem here is that many here only have their "edge competency" and do not have any knowledge outside of that. Actually I think the root to the problem lays with critical thinking, this is because there are many times they may know 2 things separately but when you add them together, 1+1(usually)=2, they just don't comprehend!

And incompetency is widely spread among teachers, both among Thai and foreigners working here in Thailand!

BTW, I speak Thai with most of my coworkers as they don't speak English and I teach speaking both in English and Thai (but I can not read or write Thai... I'm not smart enough to learn that) as I teach animal husbandry and the students has to learn the subjects in both Thai and English. And yes, within most coworkers I also include the 3 Thai English teachers who are working here because 2 out of 3 are lost if I would ask them "How are you today? instead of "How are you?"... all 3 of them have M Ed Teaching English!?

 

Sorry but I really love to quote you when you explain the truth that some foreigners living in Thailand will never know because they have wives even more dumb than this. So it seems just normal to them.

Right.... can't disagree with something should all think the same. I thought that was what was wrong with Thai students. It seems you fall in the same trap. Well done.

Here in our University more than 80% of student pay with loan and more than half should not even be in the University. Its a big money maker for the University

 

Two things, firstly, how on earth would you know how 80 percent of the students pay their tuition, and secondly, please please explain why you think that over 50 percent of the students should not be there?

 

Maybe tell us which university it is that is so appalling that you continue to work there, and we can speak to your dean.

Sure !!.....lower the student loans for education but on the other side, let the students get unlimited access to credit cards and loans for consuming ?!....
