Rob, what I meant by being a bit compromised is that some people might think you have some loyalty, no matter how small it might be,to your friends and guests at your wedding.

In your search for clarifications, you must realize that all posters here require their security, before your desire to know all the details. I'm sure you understand this.

I'd run not walk from this. If what RobRoy is saying, knowing that the same flunkies at Pan Asia used to work at Niva, then I'd stay far away. Thanks for the warning RobRoy!

Rob, could furnish us with more details concerning the empty whiskey bottles at your wedding?
Do you think this incident would reflect to any degree, the person's managerial character in the work place?

What can we say about the current management strategies and indeed the calibre of the management team at "Pan Asia our school ?

The other one,the minions handler is very fond of cricket and feathering his own nest and any cost. Then there are the spies M*****a and A***n and M****n the comfort lady  Y**Y** who are absolutley terrified of losing their positions as being possibly unemployable elsewhere.Regarding the whisky episode I am not able to comment on the matter as I have no prior knowledge of it. But if Niva school was a past employer of the miscreant all I can say "I s God or Allah help us all"

Ah I forgot the cook with the wannabees degree who is leading a double life, be careful of him or is it her? Perhaps some of the staff who have a desire for both the ladies of the night and alcohol in excess are not to be trusted either.

Indeed I have had some strange working experiences around the world but Pan Asia is indeed a cesspit of intrugue, no wonder Arabs carry scimitars,in this school you need them !!! 

There are no managers,the wee scotty dog is but a messenger as he always claims and indeed our Jordanian staff refer to him (wee scotty dog) as ''the paper carrier".

They also (the Jordanians) can't understand why there is a manager or claimed academic manager of Indian origin who in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan would not be even considered for an academic managers position even if there was the remote possibility of being considered a professional person.

Alas the place is indeed in a constant state of flux and intrigue due to the two faced double dealing academic manager and his sidekick.

There are indeed some fine examples of the multi cultural society working here,it is such a shame English is the minority language here in a professed International school.The amazing fact is that poor speakers of English are teaching the remedial classes!

The school role is a topic of speculation as is the actual status of the school and indeed many of the staff too.It was indeed intersting to note that a Muslim boarding school has just been closed in the south of Thailand due to weapons being found there.Perhaps the students and staff may join us here at Pan Asia,indeed I hope not!

I will honor my contract but once it is up I will be gone faster than a negro from a K.K.K. meeting or a Rabbi from the mosque room here at our school !!! :axechase:

Good for PAIS, bad for us.

Before I ask for your help Herrkutz, I guess congratulations are in order. It seems that your great Pan-Asian smear-campaign has claimed its first victim from the management ranks at your school. You seem so concerned that your inept managers receive their comeuppance that surely you were delighted that PAIS have taken it upon themselves to fire a certain Mr T*****l who ran their kindergarten department (into the ground, by all accounts) for the past academic year. Good for you. Sadly, this man, who wasn’t even competent enough to work at PAIS, has washed up on my school’s doorstep. With only the best interests of my school at heart, what action would you suggest that I take? Is slating him on ‘teflwatch’ a good thing to do? It seems to have worked for you.

When I first met Mr. T recently and he claimed to have been employed in a management position in his previous school, I was almost frantic to be assured that such appallingly misguided promotion was mythical even in Thailand. So I went straight onto teflwatch and, yes, all the shortcomings of PAIS management mirrored those of my new colleague perfectly. Herrkutz, you wrote that you’ll ‘honor’ your contract so I guess you’re still working at PAIS. Working conditions must surely have improved after this manager left? With people like him out the door, things at PAIS must be on the up, right? 

Keep fighting the good fight, Herrkutz. Well done for helping to rid your own school of at least one incompetent degenerate. I hope that my school’s head realizes the what a poor hire he’s made before any serious damage is done.

Brother twomillion

I am indeed honored that you have seen the efforts of my crusade and also appreciate them,my next target is A.D.S. followed by M.N. and the third rate non native English speakers currently supposedly teaching subjects in English at our school.

My dealings with Mr.T^^^^^l were limited to conversations, however I found him a sincere and erudite man with a wealth of experience and a dedicated teacher even though he was swimming against the current at Pan Asia School, yes he spoke his mind however he was correct in his statements, the school did not like his stance or his ability, hence the actions taken by the school.I rephrase that M.N. and A.D.S. did not like his stance like that of the arabic teacher Mr Jaffar who was tossed out of the door at a moments notice after some three years of service to the school a truly great teacher too was Mr.Jaffar

What I do find strange is that two other teachers were subject to a witch hunt(one by his friends who stabbed him in the back) the other becuase he had social conduct problems and thety were out of the school so quick it was
was obscene yet Mr.T^^^^^l was retained until the end of his contract and also received a handsome pay off to. Hush money ? I have never seen any postings by Mr.T^^^^^l here and his rhetoric was very identifiable in it own way,the guy had a degree in sarcasm and a wonderful dry wit too.

The kindergarten is appalling as  90% of the teachers are not native speakers of English and their language ability in English is 3rd rate.

Mr.T^^^^^l tried to remove them or at least sideline them but the old Filippino mafia along with the comfort lady defeated him.

Would you believe that one of the kindergarten teachers with two boys at the school even said to me that she was worried how her boys English had changed for the worse since leaving Bangkok Patana school and coming here to Pan Asia School.That was from a non native speaker of English too !!!   

if the notorious Mr T^^^^^l has as you put it "washed up at your school" it is your duty to expose him and name and shame him too, however make sure youare not in a glass house as the stones you throw may well cause you more damage than the target if your facts are not correct.

Did he run the kindergarten into the ground or was he just the sacrifice of M.N and A.D.S. with whom he clashed swords with a time or two by telling them they were on the wrong road. A.D.S. openly admits he had no experience with kindergarten or indeed primary school.

Having seen him (A.D.S.) take a grade class and leave it ranting raving and screaming  (A,D,S that is) I do wonder as to his claimed educational background.There were if you don't know a number of problems in getting  the paperwork of A.D.S. confirmed from the U.K.

A quote from A.D.S." Some ten years ago you could go down Kao San Road and get any degree you wanted". Would that be indicative of the degree status of A.D.S. ?

You must two million do it expose the bad man incompemtent degenerate that he is or so you state, go to bed with a clear mind knowing that you like me are a person of honor and a truth seeker. Let us see your reply.

Herrkutz, are you truthfully reporting the facts? I don't buy it.

'90% of the teachers are not native speakers of English and their language ability in English is 3rd rate.'

You mean to tell me that non-native speakers of English are being employed in Kindergarten, in an international school! lol. How ANYONE could reasonably be expected to 'co-ordinate' that mess is beyond me. If what you say is true, Herrkutz, then I'll reserve my judgement on Mr T.

I can confirm that:

1) There is only 1 native speaker, J..n, left amongst the kindergarten teachers (hence the pitiful ads for native speakers and a director for the kindergarten).

2) The head of the kindergarten was indeed a truly nice person who actually gave a damn about his work. In fact, he was promoted as the director of the kindergarten and his salary was increased many months after he took up his position, well beyond the 3 month probation period. He was told to "DO ACTIVITIES !!"  :crackwhip: (just like everyone else at PAMS) without any other specific instructions (just like everyone else at PAMS) and demoted when he wanted to actually teach something and finally soft-fired from his job (meaning that his contract was not renewed and given hush money not to talk about the school anywhere, just like everyone else kicked out of PAMS).

Oh, and I am not the said director under the magnifying glass.

Well, I finally have to comment.  I have been working here for a while and I can't believe what I read on here.  First of all 90% of all these post are made by one person using different names.  This person may or may not have legitimate complaints, but he also did the same thing to the last school that sacked him.  He's got a problem with complaining. 

I don't know who said they're working here now and posted on here because that's a lie.  There are only three a handful of teachers here right now, as everyone else is on paid holiday.  Who would be obligated to a contract in July?  This is an international school, everyone's on holiday. 

The school pays the salaries, there is almost no pressure put on teachers, you're given nearly complete freedom in the classroom, you're only obligated to make one lesson plan a week, what else could you ask for? 

Things aren't perfect but what I've read on this site is nonsense.

Tony, I can assure you I am a single individual. 

No school or manager has any right to inflict suffering on others. This is why this thread began.

Ah Tony you are indeed living in the Muslim paradise of milk and honey with the odd virgin thrown in for your pleasure too or so we are told.

Are you aware that there are still teachers on contract although on holiday who are quite capable of making their own judgements as well as reading and making postings as to the state of the (mis) management team of P.A.M.S.

Everywhere I have worked and my co teachers she school strangely has paid the salary and indeed a weekly lesson plan has been a stipulation of the school.Therefore that was rather an inane comment to make I thought

Freedom in the classroom, well if a school has no set curriculum that is what happens.we teachers call that "anarchy".

No pressure on teachers,what about the weekends away at the long stay resort,the diaster that was sports/open day all out of the standard working week,the ignored Thai public holidays too, the daily rant from our revered academic manager and his stooge ?The inability to leave the school in your free periods ?

International school ?

Strangely enough the school is only registered at the M.O.E as a "PRIMARY SCHOOL" so the running of levels above primary i.e. year 6, prathom 6 is in effect an illegal action by P.A.M.S. to go with that the fact that the school has far more than 50% Thai students blows the International School claim into a cocked hat.You check yourself with the M.O.E. 

Indeed we must bow to your superior knowledge regarding the identity of the presumed multiple poster perhaps it is you ? If not reveal your secret(s) then we can cold shoulder the Judas amongst us or even better get them stoned to death for some obscure religious infringement of the school rules !!

A valid comment from an earlier post regarding the teaching staff,we all know that out of some 45-50 teaching staff there are only 8 yes 8 native speakers of English, the rest being of Arabic, Indian,Turkish,Fillippino,Tamil Burmese origin and indeed lacking English language skills too.That has been the case from day one at P.A.M.S.

Parents paying 140,000 baht plus a year for a third rate education for their children with a bias to Islam as the recent letters concerning Thai religious holidays confirmed to us all,forgotten we lost three days holiday in May my friend ?

An academic manager whose background would not stand close inspection regarding educational qualifications along with his stooge too.

No Tony, wake up. Boots and Saddles will soon alert you to the reality of P.A.M.S.

No I am not a multiple poster either nor are others in this thread the truth is being told and it hurt people  .

I can also assure you S..h (or A..x) that I am a different individual as well.
The reason you haven't seen anything yet is just too familiar to us ex-PAMS people. You'll have to just wait and see until the unholy trio (MN, ADS, and Mu...ma) comes back from vacation.
Oh, btw, if you are S..h (your style is very similar to his manner of speech), then just ask what happened to the American guy you replaced. If you are A..x, we already know what they did to you during summer school, so please...

If you are neither then you are in for the ride of your life buddy ! Just hang on in there until it starts.
