Video: The state of Thai education! It's come to this to make the kids learn!

 

Picture: 

 

A video widely shared on social media showed a maths teacher - Khru Effy - dressed like a pink fairy to amuse his students.

 

Complete with wings, crown rimmed pink sunnies and fluffy earmuffs and antlers the teacher does a two minute routine to try to get his students to solve an equation.

 

At the end he declares: "Good - you got it. That's enough!"

 

But netizens could not get enough of his antics that entertained the class of high school grade children - the story has been liked 12,000 times and shared nearly 37,000 times across Thai social media.

 

The post on Facebook suggested that the students were having trouble remembering....until Khru Effy got to work proving that even dull mathematics could be fun!

Heaven help us.. or them

[Somtamnication]

Yep, been there done that. White monkeys are more sanook! 

[PatOngo]

Innovative, maybe if the police dressed like this, people would obey the law. 

[jabis]

 got their attention tho

[scorecard]

Funny and yes got their giggle attention.

 

Where's the Ed ministry and some policies about what's appropriate and not appropriate teacher behaviors, pedagogy etc?

 

Teachers who have professional teacher training know how to gain and keep the attention of their students, and if the students had to pay attention to ensure they pass their exams maybe they would pay more attention.

They will still need a calculator to add up 25 and ten.

Ah, the Arkham Asylum that is Thailand. Don't you just love it?

in the last 6 weeks my local friend's children, at a very reputable school, have had; two half day christmas parties (not a christian school), spent a day rehearsing sports and cheer leading and another day for actual sports and cheer leading, had 2.5 days off for scout camp, had a half day party for childrens day and another half day party for teachers day and finally another two half days rehearsing for a school fair/festival - which did take place on a saturday.

 

so they have lost 7.5 days of tuition in the last 6 weeks. astounding.

[Get Real]

Clearly all this talk about relevant education and prper document to be able to teach in Thailand, is nothing but a bunch of nonsense.
If this man can be cleared to teach, then nobody can be rejected.

However, as always. Everything must be sanook, othervise we can´t be bothered with the theacher. Sanook is only slapstick humour or dressing like a transvestite.

[Thian]

Him mau klab....mai pen lai.

[thaichiro]

They might just need a magic fairy to pass the National maths exam.

[Lupatria]

Thank god he's not in charge for urgently needed sex-education.

[dinsdale]

Is there a Thai word for maturity or immaturity? As the first state of being, maturity, doesn't appear to exist in this country, then maybe not.

[peperobi]

This is the reality!

[djayz]

Another valid reason for me to seriously consider taking my children back to Europe for their education...

 

[Destiny1990]

Who needs girls in the classroom with a teacher like that.

Nice this outfit helps them to memorize more but to understand something would be better.

And this is where all the teachers were on the 18-01-2018 in Udorn...Udornthani birthday.

Idiot.....

Isn't exactly teaching them to grow up!

[Fish Head Soup]

The video has nothing to do with the students and education but everything to do with the 'teacher' wanting attention on the internet.

 

 

[gunderhill]

I've  found  Thais have an attention span of about 5  seconds in many cases.

[Laughing Gravy]

Is anyone really surprised. the education system here is very poor, lacks any accountability and has little progression and development. But as long as the class is 'sanook', then all is OK. One might think that it was a conspiracy to keep the masses dumb whilst the elite send their children abroad to be educated.

The assistants at my 7-11 look gob-smacked when I proffer the correct money for three or four items in advance of them ringing it up on the till.

He’s not exactly teaching them anything. 

 

Very poor technique. He’s talking too much and not engaging most of his class in the learning process. 

[Jonmarleesco]

Well, if they're watching him, they're also watching the board, and no doubt listening. Good for him.

[Stokakrishna]

Pathetic

"Isn't exactly teaching them to grow up!'

 

Lots of negatives in what the clown is doing, perhaps the worst of all is 'Isn't exactly teaching them to grow up!'
