Introduce as much as you want folks then comes the tricky bit of getting students to comply which will be no mean feat.

''The concept is to promote morals and to point out the harm of all vices in order to grant immunity to students in parallel with promoting the pursuit of knowledge.''

We will set an objective that is not easily understood and cannot be measured, therefore we will ensure we cannot fail.

Note to secretary. Please plan awards ceremony for June 2017 (5* resort, 3 days minimum).

Is the sentence grammatically correct? Looks okay to me. Ergo, it makes sense.

Often I've been asked to check some English. Sure, no grammatical errors, but it makes no sense. "What do you mean?" I mean I don't have a clue what you're talking about. Just because something is grammatically correct - doesn't mean it makes sense.

"But you're a native speaker!" I can only imagine all the Thai stuff written that makes zero sense. Does anyone say anything? Do they b*****. Life just goes on with people not only none the wiser, but also confused.

And I thought the schools were going to be drink and smoke free ,no more drunk teaches and parties with alcohol

All the teachers I know are pissheads

Great system, already knowledge free, soon to be smoke free and alcohol free too. Trouble is they have to travel to Cambodia for their free milk!
