My only conversation with a Thai Head of English began; 'Me number 1 Angrit teach in sakoon.' Most bar girls I know manage to make their meaning plainer than this.

Moti24 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 He looks like a sack of shit! If he was wai-ing the mother in the photo, it would have been polite to look at her. Just the look of him, and the smarmy smile, tell me he is unfit to be a teacher! The director is just as guilty. The pair of then should be sacked. Shame only one of them can be deported.

Especially in a dump like Langsuan. The school will have difficulty replacing him, which is probably part of the reason they tried to keep it quiet.

Maybe... many do...but anyway let's not start the whole ruck of "teachers" with fake degrees, no work permits (often because the school won't supply them), working on retirement extensions or tourist visas where it clearly states employment prohibited. But TIT!!!!!! The whole Thai education system would crumble!!!? Personally I don't see why you would want to bother teaching in Thailand for s**t money, long hours and treated as second class. I gave up teaching in the UK because the teachers had less rights than the most of the naughty kids..but they had ADHD so that was ok then plus long hours, no respect but decent pay. Why stress yourself out in Thailand when we came here to relax from the rat race. Yes I know there are some legitimate teachers out there!!!! So please don't whinge. On another note I could not help but chuckle at the mothers name of "suay". Now I might not have my beer goggles on but maybe in her younger years...?????

They keep telling foreigners to learn the "Thai Way" to behave. Now that someone has followed that advice and is acting in the traditional Thai manner for treating students, they want to kick him out of the country. Go figure. They do that bc his papers are not ok he was teaching illegally so bye bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no excuse for any violence towards children, if the report about what was said about the way the punishment was administered is true, then it should be automatic jail time for the teacher.

cnx101 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 5 hours ago, Suttisan said: I worked in a government school about 12 years ago, the Thai teachers were always smacking the kids. This guy lost his cool because he thinks being a teacher in a thai government school is something to be taken seriously. You pay peanuts you get monkeys, I'd also be surprised if any foreign teachers in these thai schools have degrees in English or education (no one did when I was doing it), why would anyone spend 4 years studying and work for 35,000 thb per month? I think we can all agree that sort of money just isn't worth it, not to mention the fact that the thai teachers don't like you because the reason you're there is because their English is worse than tarts. All so true it's the most horrible job working in a Thai school I did it once never again, kids were awful teachers hate you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
