Im pretty sure someone here can give me advice. I'm assigned to be working with another foreign teacher who quite simply does NOTHING regarding preparation, marking, lesson planning, personal hygiene.
It's facebook all day and 2hour coffee breaks.
i understand from friends that 'complaining' and such, is not tolerated here in thailand. Who do I speak to about this?....
a) The head teacher? ....who already has concerns, but because of my silence, has no real idea of the extent of the problem.
b) co-ordinator, who has some idea but doesn't seem to care.
c) my long suffering girlfriend (again).

Are you a new teacher there?Originally Posted by Sam Sung
find out where he lives and pop his tires every morning.
Yes, we are both new.
I would probably settle in before gong to war. Get the lay of the land, as it were. Just saying ...
Smile. Do nothing.
Pick up your pay cheque every month.
Guy Manpoof sux nuts for $$.
Tomcat trained. Satisfaction guaranteed.
^ what PP said.
newbie getting caught up in office politics is worse then laziness. keep your head down,do your job, get some experience and let the mgmt deal with the bad workers.
Managing the foreign teachers is the job of the administration. There might be frustration and annoyance on your side but you have to hang in there. The other teacher's performance will have its results in the classroom and then the teacher will be on the radar. You'll have to wait until that moment comes.
hmmm thats what my colleague is doing, thats my problem.
by doing nothing i am essentially covering for him and doing extra work to boot.
if he's doing his job and minding his own business, what's the problem?
I smell youth.
I see someone being moved on for not smiling, being quiet, and just picking up their pay cheque.
smells like teen spirit... just a lil bit
