If anyone did that to my kid, the teachers in question would soon find themselves at the receiving end of my trimmer, and soon have a hair cut fit for a monk.

Really?

Some people have a simple view of the world.

 Recently I spent a long time in conversation with a French micro-biologist who previously worked with L'Oreal. He came to Thailand to branch out on his own and produce his own brand of high-end spa products. Having found suitable premises and set up the process-line, he then started looking around for two talented post-graduate students to train.

He contacted four top universities and arranged interviews. In all he interviewed 15 candidates spread between Bangkok and Songkla - the brightest and best of the young Thai people who were working towards their Doctorates. The result? He closed everything down and went back to Paris.

He told me that he simply couldn't believe that the students he interviewed were so ignorant (his words) of many of the basic processes and had huge gaps in their knowledge-base, and he reckoned that they were at about the same level of education that he would expect from an 18-year-old, fresh out of school, and just beginning a first-level degree course in Europe..
 

It is meaningless that Thailand boasts . . . "170 institutions of higher education in Thailand, both public and private, offering 4,100 curricula that can accommodate 156,216 new students" . . . if the students are ineffectively taught and learn virtually nothing along the way. It might do for Thailand but it's staggeringly 'under-educated' in terms of first-world nations.

I work on a daily basis with Thai people and they are a lot smarter than the average TV poster (make a lot more money too)

Countries with the likes of Brexit and government shutdowns are ill-suited to call Thailand toxic.  I gave up hope and moved to Thailand 20 years ago and have not been disappointed.  Thailand misses some things as do all countries.  Cutting grades for opening the school to criticism?   I was suspended from college for protesting the Vietnam war.  I was suspended for marching for women's rights.  I was suspended for marching for equal opportunity for all. 

So you were a troublemaker.....did you have a mohawk as well or rastafari hair?

I dunnow but i would think the teachers would have to give the 'good' example...(just like policemen)...So whoever she is she sure needs to have her hair cut to the norm...

 

I really like the long hair on thai girls.....what a shame they have to cut it.

[BobbyL]

Pretty much sums up the whole education policy here to a tee.

 

The school lost face ????

 

Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Do they have a special helmet for these ladies? And what if in combat when somebody looses his/her helmet and they want to use the one from a dead soldier?

 

Nope, for armygirls i think millimetered hair is best...just like for the men.

There is a good one and a half inches berween your head and the helmet, it's not like a skull cap. ????

Do you think that any woman who passes a motorbike test should have their head shaved as well, or female engineers who have to wear a safety helmet??

I went to a private school with the same policies.  Nothing new for the USA or UK.  Of course this is a Thai public school.  Perhaps trying to keep up the image so to be seen as good as the private schools.  Nothing to do with being Thai as the same thing takes place all over the world. 

The hair rules are for boys. Not girls. I have never known a public school in the UK cut a girls hair. 

[Bayrat]

All the school has created is resentment towards the school and the teachers.  This will outweigh anything positive which has been done at the school.

I'm married, drive cars and drink but not those two at the same time.

Does that mean I must be a teacher?

No, she's indicating where the 'hairdresser' should do the cut.

What a crazy rule!  I can only think it was once thought a good idea to make the girls as plain as possible so as to preserve their innocence. Girls with long hair should just be asked to wear pony tails, or to tie their hair up in some way.

The Thai law that teachers are not allowed to hit or cane children is also very very clear but thousands of teachers ignore the law and hit / cane children, often causing severe markings on skin, blood, bruising etc.

 

Teachers are forbidden by the law to do this but without hesitation they ignore the law.

 

Where's the Ed. ministry? No comment, asleep, too lazy, incapable of construction a comment,  as usual. 

 

 

Not too long ago they were busy rorting money from kids lunches

I'm sure he had a reason to try to sell his products in Thailand instead of Europe....

[happyinthailand]

The government will probably support the school for this type of discipline. Until the whole nation sees that education is teaching children to express their thoughts and individuality freely, the country will see further declines in the quality of education compared to other nations.

Go to school.  Follow the rules.  Get an education.  Don't listen to the plumbers, rig pigs and taxi drivers on Thai Visa.

Gotta make sure they know their place so they are ready to bow, wai, and prostrate themselves at a moments notice.
