Ok so its nice to earn a few.....
But stop for a moment and think! Is it the answer to everything? Take it from an old hand at the game - no its not. Look at all the extras that are on offer:

Visa assistance, insurance, health care, working hours, equipment provided, holidays, social working conditions

Long list don't you think... well enter any staff room, take a deep breath, pour yourself a coffee sit down and just stop, look and listern.

Give it 10 minutes... do all the foreign staff sit alone, do all the Thai staff just keep themselves to themselves, do you actually feel welcome?

Take a class or two, do they all fall asleep knowing that they will pass? Do they act like wild unleashed rampant rabid dogs ( already enough on Bangkok streets) does attention seem to wander within seconds, no books to hand, no equipment,.... by now alarm bells should be ringing like the Titanic was going down!

Thailand has had some dreadful unqualified teachers in the past, but also they have not helped themselves. Poorly equipped schools, students not ready for study ) parents who demand and want the best but fail the basics to help their own children....!

Take a step back and learn to say... No sorry this is not for me. This will only in the long term help, students and teachers.

Lastly there are some wonderful students, but like breaking in a horse, you are going to have to break in a class as well, that is if its not already been done, and trust me some classes are a dream, some.... have not... well to start with anyway.

However trust your own judgement..... kids will try it on.. we did.. our parents did.... and so will Thai kids!... nothing changes

But enjoy. Is this not teaching?
