Some really salient points here. Of all the people here we shoulder the least blame. Education is big business here. Parents have to stand up and be counted, principals need to be accountable, teachers need performance related pay based on actual results, students need to be taught skill younger. Book companies need toproduce something more realistic. Course it won't happen, it is in my school. funnily enough, i've got group of 4 lazy boys in p4 who i'm alwas at to read, finish work. i now realise after today that they would be in the top 5 kids in the local government Matayom 3 class. its amazing how smarrt and motivated thai kids can be with real skills, its equally amazing how the system fails so many of all but the richest. of the M3 class I took today only 3 out of 20 could read and translate more than 5 of the ten most commonverbs in the English language.. Pathetic.
