Well, let's just we have heard this before, but if this time it turns out true, then more power to everyone, Do you recall the many programs that called for many new teachers to come with higher salaries? OF course, even with proper degrees, salary profile is low even for NESTs. The Debate was always if a western teacher made a higher salary, then they were expected to do more, and the Thai counterparts were happy to ensure that outcome. However, the PROBLEM will always remain, when at times, good intentioned administrator try to create educational forward movement in ELL, but have no business representing ELL.. A rationale of sorts is if the Thai can speak English then they have the Educational chops to provide leadership in ELL. NOT SO... They look to the quick fix....such as CALL Computer Assisted Language Learning, while it has merits, it is not a --one type -fix- all -solution. Comes down to motivation of the students and the ADM and teachers trying to match those expectations....but if Somchai is a box of rocks, then send him to the sand box, Another issue is the corruption and privilege factor of senior Educational Administration, there is a high probability when you see major campus construction, major contribution to Senior Administrators happens... Yet surprisingly, little Somchai has been taught well but meaningful Thai teacher who give a Flaming F..., however as expected these teachers flame out and leave teaching.

However, teaching long term in this country is financial suicide and the only thing that will stop my imminent return to my home-country is a very substantial raise.
