Common sense is not very common in Thailand.

Regarding the letter I wrote two days ago, about the school in Chaiyapum, I have just today had a meeting with my farang manager from the same school. He has gone to school as normal this morning, to be told, he too will not be teaching his lessons the same as me. He contacted the MD of our company, who has since talked to the director of the school. The director of the school informed our MD, he was able to re-instate all the foreign teachers at the school. But he also admitted the Thai teachers involved in this farce, would make the foreign teachers life a living hell. Please don't reply with any stupid comments, stating we ALL must have done something terribly wrong. Three experienced teachers of some years, cannot ALL be wrong. It makes me sick to my stomach, Thais can get away with the kind of behavior. Common sense is not very common in Thailand.

"I think it's time to draw a line under this. Not because the story isn't worth hearing but we have the ajarn discussion forum, which is the best place for ongoing updates and posts, etc. I think the story would definitely be better served on the forum"

Mr. Russell Park
