Get rid of the <deleted> UNIFORMS!  They are nothing but targets for rival schools.  With everyone in street clothes, no one knows who goes to what school.  How damn hard is that to figure out????

That would also work.

Yes, I agree.   Thailand, like a lot of other countries, are very much into uniforms, so the idea of dispensing with them is not very likely.

Surprised there's any students left in this place the way they're either shot dead or shoot others dead. 

 

 

The Certificate must be worth it's weight in lead.

Perhaps they could instigate inter-school sports. Rugby would be a good way for them to sort out their aggressive rivalries.

(must check for guns and knives though)

It must have been within the last two weeks when one of the weirdo "officials" claimed Thailand could be the hub for education of foreign students.

The offer may turn out like: Risk your life while trying to become a bachelor of fruit carving.

I fear that you may be doing the same in your exhortation to your fellow members.

 

Instant, simple solutions for Thailands problems (or might they better be described as characteristics?) are the bread and butter of TVisa.

No wonder parents want to send their kids to a university (even though they would be much more suitable for a technical college). Less likely to be shot. So if my kid wants to be a mechanic, what are my choices? Send him back to OZ to get some better training I guess.

Another example of indoctrined Thai culture.

Farang no understand Thais......

As hard as it is to figure out that simply asking for ID instead of pretending to ban alcohol sales for everyone near schools. There simply isn't any logic or common sense in Thailand. None at all. Why, I don't know, but it's quite extraordinary.

That is common sense smart farang thinking - not allowed in Thailand!

Interschool athletics is not the answer, it breeds more rivalries.

I recall many schools in the US started switching to uniforms to undermine gang affiliations (colors). I don't know how this turned out, but I understand many gangs started wearing certain sneakers.

They should arm all students, it would all be over in a week, all the enemies would shoot it out !

Only the worthwhile ones who stay out of it would be left standing !!
