not to mention the fact that half of all foreign teachers in thailand have fake ass degrees....damn frauds.......but thats the drawback of globalization

Should have remembered that particular drawback of globalisation when I wrote an essay on it for an exam last week

So far, we have a vague complaint from a vague complainer.  As others have said, it really helps very little simply to say the school is "bad."  Your sarcastic portrait of the school's want list helps a little bit, but frankly a lot of these things are problems at every Thai school (too many activities for the children, inconsistent treatment of employees, etc.) and other things you say even make the school look good in some ways- they pay on time, provide paperwork, etc.  I haven't seen from your complaints how this school seems that bad to its employees compared to the average Thai school, and other posters here seem to have the same feeling.  I don't think it counts as a negative working condition for you that other teachers don't have a gung-ho attitude.

If you're comparing Thai schools to schools back home, then maybe I can see why you'd be shocked- but as they say, this is Thailand.

Hope you don't mind that I'm also a mod.  We have opinions, too.

Hey mods.....thx for the help with jaded. He really contributed well to this thread.

The school did not re-sign 4 foreigners because the school planned to go through an agency. But in truth, they just hired non-native speakers to fill the positions. All the teachers that were not re-signed did nothing to warrant such a thing. 2 other teachers were let go because of one of the remaining foreign teachers(who fits jaded's description so well) is a complete azz and very difficult to work with.


The admin is terrible with paperwork...you must pay for all renewals, extensions, late fees ect...
-------------------------------------------------
most everything else is the usual Thai school chaos.
-------------------------------------------------
They also have a dog problem...dogs on campus who do and have bitten teachers and students.
-------------------------------------------------
The computer classroom has no-one to do upkeep on the computers, so who ever fills that position will have their hands full.
-------------------------------------------------
They will lie to get a signature....beware!
-------------------------------------------------
The school waits until mid-April (sonkran) to look at contracts.

let's see what the rain brings.........
