Thai school web site.

Found this while browsing, www.sriwittayapaknam.ac.th To all those that knock Thai education take a look at this website made and maintained by the actual kids. It shows a school of a standard that could only be dreamed of in the UK.

Very nice presentation website.Might be a good school or not!All the schools my daughter has attended provide the same type of presentation,although,not all through websites.None of the schools know how to teach,nor do the use their computer labs efficiently!
What is there in this website that convinces you this is a good school?What makes you believe that the teachers know anything about teaching.Do the students learn to think or just listen and try to memorize.Can the students ask the teacher questions etc.etc.!Maybe ,but I doubt it.
I imagine there are some private schools somewhere in Thailand that actually are concerned about the gaining of knowledge by the students and they get astronomical tuitions and ''bribes'' to get on the list!
Thailand gov't know these schools and if they were really interested in educating the masses,they would train their teachers and change their curriculum to emulate these schools as examples.Not to continue running babysitting farms as they do now!
Summer school and private tutoring for math are the only classroom situations that have improved our daughters education,even though they still teach memorization only,there is repetitiive classes close enough together to allow some continuity of subject material and focus time for practice.
The regular school time curriculum is so bogged down with focus on to many relatively less important classes to not have any reinforcment time for material presented,let alone learn in basic subjects,especially by memorization only.Kids have French,Japanese,Chinese,English ,Thai for language classes and since Thai is the only language that most get reinforced,it is the only one learned!The kids have the same arts & crafts classes each year with high school kids still making paper flowers and drawing simple pictures !All the grades participate in the same ''boy and girls scouts'' BS and of course they repeat the same clean your room,sweep the floor BS every year.And of course they must pass each grade,so for a couple of weeks before testing,the teachers prime them for the tests!Then when some flunk,they come back and retest with permission to ask their friends or teachers present for answers !

Pure rubbish!The very small few that have great memorization skills get good grades,the rest are just passing through as they have learned to wei the teacher because they command respect
