Why come to teach here if you don't respect Thai people?

Postbox letter from Ajarn Ploy

One teacher say to me before, “I just want to travel, teaching is not important.” I feel shocked. You teach students! You have a big responsibility.


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.
