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.


My approach to parent complaints

Postbox letter from John

I only take parent complaints seriously if they're easy to understand or the school explains them properly.


Par for the course

Inevitable Thai government school issues

Anyone who has ever worked in a school of any kind in Thailand can tell you that you're bound to run into a fair share of issues: getting work permits and visas, pay discrepancies, untruthful job descriptions, and the lot. That said, and correct me if I'm wrong, it seems that Thai government schools are the worst of the lot.
