The worrying thing is that the students think its funny whilst the teacher is obviously getting off on the whole thing.

When asked about this, the students said that they have pain for a few moments, but they get to laugh at the pain of all of their friends. Analyze that!

Yes I think you picked up on the same wavelength as I did with this. I remember one guy at my school used to be the worst in the class at everything. he thought it funny to get the cane. in fact he was proud of the record for the most canings in the school. His fate was sealed and he spent most of his life in jail. As regrds to punishment for Thai students, I would be interested to hear what you all do if they get out of hand and you have to give some kind of punishment.

  ^^^^    Don't go running to the Head's office. This would be seen as "unable to discharge his duties" and would be regarded by Thai staff as a comedy item.

I've seen this video. It was taken early THIS year, probably around February. It is the EIP upper mathayom, NOT the Thai program. At the time, these boys were mathayom 4.

EIP high school then???

I have verified that the video was of M4 students in the EIP Program and that it was taken last year. I am sure JJ can verify the authenticity as well as it was extremely easy for me to.

But would JJ verify if the teacher in the video has been reported to the police??

It doesn't seem to be in JJ's nature to verify very much of anything.

I would guess that, as a year co-ordinator he has a position to protect and wants to climb the greasy pole of management so is a willing defender of the faith.
