Topic: Pan Aisa International School

[fed_up]

...herrkutz,

Thanks for your willingness to continue to post about the school but I want to point something else out.  IMHO, continuing to call the school, "Islamic" is inflammatory in an unnecessary way.  It could seem as though you are using the religious affiliation of the school as a slur.  You may just be pointing out the hypocrisy in their ways but I think that it could be taken as a bias on your part.

I'd stop calling this school Pan-Asia Islamic School when they dropped the fake "International" in its name. Once again, this comment is not made to smear the school and show them all as terrorists or else, but rather to point out that it is an Islamic school so that other teachers know what they are getting themselves into. In fact, the official name of this school on paper is "Pan-Asia Islamic Welfare Society".

Dear oldtimer,
Please read my previous post very, very carefully, then skim through the entire thread looking for references to Arab oil money and then post if possible. I will ask one rhetorical question here; Did I, in my previous post, refer to you or your post? NO! If you had ‘carefully’ read my post you would have seen that my first statement referred to the whole thread!
I did follow your request and read your postscript, and here what I found was that you were attempting to answer a poster named ‘Mohammednoman’ whilst overlaying that reply with your supposition that he may or may not have been someone else, you should note that a shaky unproven supposition such as this does tend to take away any credence that you post may or may not have had! But let us look at the facts (i.e. the words in the various recent posts) surrounding your postscript; Mohammednoman (and here I will indicate that I have made a supposition that the name is some indication to this posters religious standing) is clearly making his post as a supporter of the school, he uses phrases like “our money” “our school” and “We pay you to do as we want not what you are thinling [sic] you want” you of course then overlaid these words with your supposition that Mohammednoman was indeed someone else, all be it a representative of the school. At this point I would like to pose you another rhetorical question; if someone gave you money, is it then your money pr their money? You see from my perspective if the school is receiving funds from the middle east, America or the UN, it then becomes the school money to deal with as they see fit, and it seems that they have seen fit to use some of this money for the employment of teachers. Now one of the maxim that has held true of employment ever since the first neo caveman gave a bag of salt to another to do some work is that. The employer pays the employee to carry out a job of work as stipulated by the employer. The employee has two options here, carry out the work to the satisfaction of the employer or walk away from the job. To my knowledge it has never been the case that the employee takes payment from the employer but then stipulates what, if any, work the employee will do in return. If you do believe in such utopian ideals then so be it, but if you were ever in my employ and tried such BS I can assure you that you would find your ass quite definitely kicked out the door within a few nanoseconds of your making such a ludicrous claim!
"tree-hugging hippy" oh thank you for that! It is indeed a typical piece of pseudo name calling used by neo-cons when referring to anyone not of their persuasion. Again though, I would point out that at no time did I mention the twin towers, though I freely admit that I did refer to posts on this thread where school detractors have implied that school funds have been used for nefarious means. I can understand your paranoia, your belief that everything is directed towards you, but do try and believe me when I say that my previous post was not directed against you, though this one clearly is!

Whilst I am posting I may as well have my two cents worth on your last post on this thread. The school freely admits that it leans towards Islam in its teaching, but that is by the by. If you are going to emulate Don Quixote and tilt at the windows of Thai schools erroneously using the term ‘international’ in their name, then I fear that you will be tilting more times than a well played pinball machine.

A-ha !! The barely concealed face of "PAN-ASIA "ISLAMIC" SCHOOL" management team shows from under the mask once again !! They are indeed answering us, with the same self-pompous, "holier-than-thou" attitude, personal insults  and a whole bunch of crap rhetoric in order to sway this thread from its purpose and get it locked.

I am not going to fall for their trap and stoop down to the level of answering this troll, but mods please beware that this is the new game of PAIS and don't lock this thread.

Nope, no locking the thread yet, BUT...................

I'm going to ask the admin to look into the ip addy of mohammednoman.  Should it be that of another user, there WILL be sanctions on the user.

I don't THINK thats Mr. Noman.  I surely pray that its not a user stirring the pot.  I WILL have the admin look into it. 

Keep it the discussion on this level and everything is fine!

But my opinion is the same as pogue-mahone and the poster known as mohammednoman. If you work for the school, you're ass is theirs while you're at school.  If you don't like it, talk with your management.  If changes aren't made, find another job.  I'm pretty sure thats how it works the world over.  If contractual promises aren't kept, take legal recourse. Its really simple.

Why are the teachers currently there, still there?

Then again.....gentlemen.......

Until such time as there is new information regarding working conditions at this school, this thread is locked. 

Additionlly, there are indications that one or more posters are not playing by the rules.

Please feel free to PM me or any other mod if there is any new information and we will be happy to reopen the thread.  This is a promise to you, the people involved to keep this discussion going.  It's also a promise to all the people reading these threads to get a clear idea of teaching conditions at the school.  Thats what TeflWatch is about. 

Thanks,

Topper
