Common sense, a very hard to come by trait in this part of the world but then again I have only lived for here for a year. Wonder what would have happened if all the students had of just stood there or maybe turned their backs on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smileydude Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Aren’t these ceremonies/rituals usually arranged by other school officials and not directly by the school director? Prostrating before teachers is a normal show of respect and thanks for their sacrifice to become (low paying) teachers who are supposed to be morally upright etc, but from a western perspective it can seem a bit overboard and undignified.

Number 6 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 I don't believe I've seen this on top 100 list of Thai schools so it's not well known nor especially good. Perhaps in the province it's the go-to secondary. I really keep up on competitive schools, no idea here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, its a part of the Thai culture. But in this case he took it a bit too far. Maybe he thinks he is untouchable, acting like a king. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
