webfact Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 MICT refuses to drop banhammer on websites linked to homework servicesBy Coconuts Bangkok BANGKOK: -- As services offering to do homework for students in exchange for their small allowance flood the internet, the Ministry of Education’s request for a blanket ban has been denied by nation’s watchers on the digital wall.After finding about 1.5 million links related to homework services, education officials were told by the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology it would not block sites without a police report from citizens.Searching Google with various "homework services" keywords such as research, thesis and report writing services, turned up some 1.5 million results, prompting the mass-blocking request from education permanent minister Sutthasi Wongsamarn.But despite its reputation as a willing censor, MICT cited a need for due process, saying it won’t take action until someone first files a complaint with police and a site is found guilty of violating the Computer Crimes Act, Morning News reported.Full story: http://bangkok.coconuts.co//2014/09/02/mict-refuses-drop-banhammer-websites-linked-homework-services-- Coconuts Bangkok 2014-09-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 What is wrong with that. Free market economist call this: Demand & Supply. Go to read your Adam Smith: Wealth of nation. A good teacher would recognize it and let the student repeat parts of his homework in the class. But well Thailand and good teacher..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eliot Rosewater Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 A real teacher will know what their students are capable of. So, if the schools are doing their jobs then this is a non-issue; but something tells me otherwise........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are seriously asking what is wrong with that? You just hit the nail on the head, methinks. By the way, had your education been better, you may have learned what plural means.....

SMSinBangkok Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) After living in Thailand five and a half years, I would never, never, employ a Thai with only a Thai education. Period. Good luck Thailand..... Edited September 2, 2014 by SMSinBangkok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyx Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Personally, if I were running a business I would employ anyone fitting the profile I am looking for: this employee would be kept on the job on a merit basis....regardless of where they were educated You might be surprised to know that some locally "badly" educated people are smarter than some PHD collected abroad Edited September 3, 2014 by alyx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
