laurengee10 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I was recently offered a job at Kajonkietsuksa School, starting in April. I could not find any teacher reviews online and was just wondering if anyone had worked there or knew anyone that worked there. I will be coming alone so just wanted some insight before I got there. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawaiman Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Not a good school to work... I left after a term. Nicknamed the teacher factory and they push the kids way too hard, even in Kindergarten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you working now ? Where you "invited" to leave the "factory" ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Since the head of primary came back in 2012, he is slowly filling up the management team with his South African counterparts. Now, primary is more than 50% SA nationals, which according to the Thai Ministry of Education, are not native English speakers. No worries, then. As native English speakers are asked to correct "entrance" tests as these SA teachers are not allowed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearpolar Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 That makes absolutely no sense, you are now blaming children for not learning. James HKT is a shill for Kajon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinginKata Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 What's a "shill", or am I a bit slow... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill Wikipedia A shill, also called a plant or a stooge, is a person who publicly helps or gives credibility to a person or organization without disclosing that they have a close relationship with the person or organization.

bearpolar Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 How is this for relevance? The school my kids go to has 0 complaints online or in real life, bad parents are removed from the school. There's literally no bullying and most teachers are quite happy. There's tons of free events and free outtings. That's what a school you pay for is suposed to be. How many of those things does kajon have? It's better than a thai school but its not worth the money. If you are a bit on the poorer side just send your kids to dawrong(the one next to central, dont know how to spell it) or the other private one in front of the public hospital in phuket town or even Satri.

I have a friend who took his son out of Kajon and put him onto Darasamuth and has only good things to say about the move. He is by no means poor and the move was not financially motivated especially considering he lives close to Kajon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somtamnication Posted April 25, 2016 Share Posted April 25, 2016 All three have their good and bad points. At Kajonkiet ESC Pattana, by villa 5, corporal punishment is still tolerated by the Thai admin. But at EP section in Kathu, it is not. The level of English at ESC pales in comparison to EP, but the ESC teachers are happier there due to less of a slave / North Korean style of admin by the farang heads at EP. Their adverts stating a "tight knit group" is so far off the mark, considering the turn over rate is between 30-40% due to the admins there.
