Thread: Math? WTF?

when will Thai teachers and schools realise that learning is a 2 way process.

Was going into a class a few minutes late a few weeks back and the Thai teacher (big, fat slob) was asleep at the top of the class. All the students sitting there quite as a mouse miming for me to knock on the door to wake him up.

A one way process could be a start.

It's amazing really. I wonder what the hell Thailand is banking its future on.

Are you saying that you were not taught penmanship in school? Poor maths skills is not just a Thai problem - it's all over the UK.

There are some great students in Thailand for sure...but they do it in spite of the system I think.
