Hired and fired

Postbox letter from Rory

Being fired as a foreign teacher is par for the course at Thai government schools. Only if you are popular in the staff room will you last very long.


A very stubborn teacher

When another teacher gets in the way of you doing your job.

I walked in and smiled at the 50-something Thai teacher, who was a pretty big guy. He sneered at me and returned to the whiteboard. Feeling rather non-plussed I retreated and waited politely outside.
