The Bitterness of Thai Schools

Postbox letter from Foxy Stoat

I've come to notice that a lot of Thai schools have some rather bitter and twisted rules in the small print of their employment contracts. Now, nobody is forced to sign such contracts, but for those with families and assets here, it might be case of 'having to'.


Investing in people or rolling out policies?

Let's evaluate what happens here in Thailand as something we can learn from rather than condemn.

I firmly believe that we can look at Thailand and learn a lot about how we prepare our kids to enter society and live rewarding lives with the resources they have and priorities they live by.
