Yes, I've earned only a lowly masters degree, so my "academic endeavors" are inferior to yours. You pull this "publish or perish" trump card as if waving your Ph.d around makes you Zeus shaking a thunderbolt at the mere mortal teachers on this forum. But I will say this: I'd trade 20 of your "scholarly" publications by doctorates such as you for each trial-by-fire lesson plan that a REAL teacher has successfully applied in a Thai classroom.
