Light-fingered teachers can't be trusted

Postbox letter from Phil

A few months ago, several books, including resource packs, began disappearing from the language school where I work. This hadn't been much of an issue before, but in just six weeks, no fewer than eight photocopiable resource packs vanished.


Theory vs practice

Who takes precedence, the theoretician or practitioner?

Who really knows the answers to the questions about education - the teachers who are in the classrooms, or the 'experts' working quietly in the halls of academia?


The teaching game

Games - I love 'em and I use them in my classroom in every way I can.

Don't be dismissive of games or underestimate their value. The resultant effect of these light-hearted activities may have more than just the 'learning' benefits.


What makes an ideal school to work for in Thailand?

Postbox letter from Tom

If the teacher is not motivated, creative, happy, calm, realistic, reliable, patient, resourceful, pragmatic, disciplined, then it is the fault of the school and the way it is run
