Over 50 and lucky

Over 50 and lucky

I am one of those teacers over 50 years old but I am fortunate to have a teaching position. Thailand is missing out on excellent experienced teachers with this totally illogical restriction. I expected Asia to revere those of us who have many years of life experience but that's not the case. Letter writers to the ajarn Postbox are also correct in saying that the younger teachers are often not prepared and lack true commitment for teaching.It's the children who get short changed.
