When the head teacher isn’t the head teacher

My experience and cautionary tale

This experience serves as a cautionary tale for educators considering similar roles. It’s essential to thoroughly investigate the actual responsibilities and authority of a position before accepting it. Don’t be swayed by impressive titles if the role doesn’t offer the opportunity to make a meaningful impact.


Things I admire about the Thai education system

Foreign teachers shouldn't knock it as much as they do.

Some teachers like to put the boot into Thai high schools - but I’ve recently been looking at it in a new light and have seen lots of positives.
